If the "manages to build a kernel on it" part involves a "git clone" first
then I agree. From past bug I found that even if xfstest cthon and bunch of
other testes pass, I still got data-corruption/bugs under 
"git clone linux, umount, mount, git status". It's my best test so far.
(It needs to be a very big git tree with lots of history as well, like linux or gcc)
