Hi Chris, we actually have a project in progress called LAVA to do something very similar to this.  Our initial target is to test full linaro images and hardware packs, however we are also very interested in extending this to include running with just an updated kernel in a known good image to test things like upstream and landing team kernels.  I'm away from my computer right now, but I would be very intersted in having your input on this if you are interested.  I should be around later this evening or tomorrow if you'd like to chat further on irc.  Look for plars on freenode.

Thanks,
Paul Larson
