for people who might be familiar with the barebox boot loader, Simon is
basically proposing the same thing as barebox's "sandbox" target.
to avoid confusion/fragmentation in this area, and since the name is a large
part bike shedding, i propose we adopt the same name that barebox has. that
way we can sanely use the same term when comparing/contrasting.
from the barebox website:
Sandbox
If you develop features for Barebox, you can use the 'sandbox' target
which compiles Barebox as a POSIX application in the Linux userspace: it
can be started like a normal command and even has network access
(tun/tap). Files from the local filesytem can be used to simulate
devices.

i certainly think it's a worthwhile exercise, especially if it gets us to the
point where we can do `make check` and have confidence in our common code
changes not being completely f-ed up.
