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 :).
