Description

Speeds up Linux kernel testing by booting a freshly built kernel in a lightweight virtualized environment. It is useful for developers who need quick boot tests without installing the kernel on the host.

This is an advanced kernel-testing tool. It builds and runs kernel code, so use trusted source trees and understand the virtualization options before sharing host resources.
