Having the branches would be beneficial for kernel developers as well, e.g. on multiple occasions I've spent time hunting down non-existent KVM bugs, only to realize my base kernel was stale with respect to kvm-unit-tests. My thought was to have a mostly-unmaintained branch for each major kernel version, e.g. snapshot a working version of kvm_unit_tests when the KVM pull request for the merge window is sent, and for the most part leave it at that. I don't think it would introduce much overhead, but then again, I'm not the person who would be maintaining this :-)
