FWIW, we already have a reusuable program that can be used to generate load stress for testing live migration see tests/migration/stress.c This gets compiled into a static binary, put into an initrd, and then run by booting the host OS kernel. So the caveat is that this approach only lets you test a QEMU emulator whose target arch matches the host. That isn't much different from this boot sector though which only lets you test the x86 system emulator.
