I know there have been some discussions at past OLS about some testing that
Martin was working on.

http://www.linuxsymposium.org/2006/view_abstract.php?content_key=13

But I think this was more functional tests, less unit tests that what you are
talking/asking about.

http://test.kernel.org/functional/index.html

Also - If I remember - most of the existing tests were for a self hosted
environment - and might not be well suited to embedded (like Blackfin) which
requires cross compile, and pretty thin runtime environment (uClibc +
busybox's msh as shell).

Martin?
