Another question, is there any way to run these tests bare-metal to verify them first on real silicon?
Sure, you can use grub's multiboot capabilities to boot a .flat file.
This would be very helpful to have the proof that a test really works, especially in the nested-svm case. The dependency on the testdev seem to make things difficult. But I havn't investigated this further yet.
Most tests use testdev for the serial port and for the memory size. We can switch the serial port to a real serial device (or to screen display via int 10), and query the memory size from the BIOS.
