i would like to see automatic testing of the exported API in the same way that 
standalone applications work.  so u-boot runs, loads an arbitrary blob into 
its external memory, and then jumps into it.

if we have tun/tap networking, this should be easy to get arbitrary files into 
its memory space ... after that, it's a "simple" matter of jumping into the 
middle of its code :).
