I am trying to create just that - a kickstart that will build a machine
as a Xen dom0, build 4 domU's, fire up puppet inside the domU's do the
testing and scp results into a central git repo. Then something similar
for KVM.

will get the basic framework online today.

Do you suppose you could get it to use Phoronix Test Suite so
we can start to have measurable stats? We could do the same thing for any VM software - even
the ones that don't allow publishing stats in the EULA...

I'm also wondering if we should do the whole test suite or a subset.
Here is the list of tests..
