Not necessary. Image can be dynamically generate too, all inputs to
kernel are generally dynamically generated.

OK, let's do it this way. For the first 10 bugs, ask me, and I will do
it manually.
I am all for automation. And syzbot is already more automated than
most kernel testing systems. But, as I said, this is really
not-trivial, large amount of work, and is specific to one out of
dozens of kernel subsystems.

Currently they are completely random, nobody taught syzkaller about AGFs, etc.

Yes, invalid inputs is part of testing.
