If you're hacking at hardware drivers, you *hopefully* have the hardware
to test with.  At that point, the *biggest* question is "What does that
hardware plug into?".   If it's a USB device, you have lots of options for
the host hardware.  If it's a PCI card, you need a system that has PCI
slots.  If you're hacking on the Raspberri Pi camera driver, you're kind of
going to need a Pi.  And so on....
