The test framework supports smp, so you can have the second vcpu do

etc.)
I just tried this out and it works great so far. Should be quite easy to
add new tests to this framework (as long as the failure cases are no
race conditions). I guess the small multiboot-kernels run with an
identity mapped page table?
Yes. vm.c has some functions to add more complicated mappings.
