What about making tesing kernels without setting module version ? Maybe this sounds stupid, but hey! Need mode testers with "always with modules" kernel ? Then, why not to try module from newer kernel first ? User doen't need any huge work and downloading. You ship new (f.e. new driver) module, * user adds it in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules * save old and update-initramfs -u, * do what ever need for bootloader, and system is ready for test-boot. Drivers are first candidates, hardware problems are very common, rather than build/regression/kernel-subsystems problems. Last is for lkml testers. I think upstream testing -mm tree will fail, they are using patches, because there are really huge changes in ABI, but stable (well, "stable") kernel usually OK.
