This is disappointing.

It is the least appealing option because of the amount of maintenance
we need to do to keep this option working.

How do we plan to maintain this solution?

* How is the kernel built?
  - From kernel sources and defconfig?
* How is the kernel updated?
  - qemu is told to run a specific built kernel
* How is the VM image maintained?
* Where does the VM image come from?
