Why won't qemu work better in this case? I generally keep a debian testing installation on disk and when I compile a new kernel I just point qemu to load it with the debian root fs. It's fast enough (even the kernel mode accelerator module is GPLed now) and you don't need to mess around with your main system's kernel. You can even test different arches - like both x86_64 and i386 on one x64 box for example. It doesn't work for any particular driver related testing but UML won't either. And it won't benefit UML development but I don't know if that was your main objective as opposed to general kernel experimentation and testing.
