You may not cause any problems outside of the VM, but any oopses inside the VM might be due to trinity just doing bad things as root, rather than kernel bugs.. Of course, it's probably hard to hit things like laoding random modules etc, since even without signature requirements there are tons of ELF sanity checks and other things. So it might be hard to actually do those kinds of "corrupt kernel memory as root" things with trinity.
