There's probably some value in making a virtual machine of some sort that will run Linux. Imagine an arch/virtual that provided an emulated MMU, a virtual disk driver, a console to stdio/curses interface, and a way of tunnelling real block and character devices into the virtual domain. Networking can even be made available - a virtual network device could pass raw packets to the real driver through existing user interfaces.
Now you can hack the kernel in user mode, with a full debugger, etc., without having to reboot, anywhere you can run GCC.
