How many, and what kind of machines would be useful for this, and what kind of additional resources would it need (storage, network, etc)?

My organisation runs an in-house semi-private cloud, I could talk to my managers about donating some resources for this. It's all x86, currently fairly old hardware (sandybridge and broadwell, mostly), but there's a fair number of them, and upgrades are planned.

I recognise it might be more useful for you to have cash that can be used to scale your current deployment, of course, but hardware is easier for me to offer than cash (or rather, my employers cash already invested in this hardware ;-)

If your use case wouldn't benefit from this, are there other kernel testing projects that might benefit?
