That's not a very optimal approach for two reaons: 1) it requires a host with MAXPHYS < 64k unnecessarily limiting testing of MI code to a handful of setups. I don't test my MI changes on a xen domu, and I assume there are others, the anita runs being the most important example. 2) in case the test produces a useful result (i.e. fails), your test host will have panicked.
