There are plenty of virtual device drivers out there that could use the testing. They could serve as useful starting points for real hardware.

Filesystems don't need specific hardware either. Wouldn't it be nice if Btrfs had RAID5/6 regression tests?

Filesystem testing is pretty comprehensively done in xfstests. E.g. btrfs does have some sort of RAID regression tests: https://github.com/kdave/xfstests/blob/6ab53c6c6825c16d8a...
