A very large chunk of linux kernel development can be done in a virtual
machine (use VirtualBox, or VMWare, or whatever).  Note that very hardware
dependent code (like messing around with MSR registers, or some device drivers)
won't be easily debugged, because the VM gives you a virtualized version
of a generic system.  But stuff like filesystems or schedulers or new
syscalls are easily done in a VM.
