Working out well

@ljs I'm having another look, the old virtme was a good start but lacked things. The NG looks much better (also better than my custom qemu wrapper scripts).

@kdave yeah it's really useful practically day to day. Never used the non-ng I don't think

@ljs is there an easy way to run things inside like test bash script or even xfstests?

@alberand I mean I can't speak to specifics, but by default it mounts your file-system as an overlayfs thing and you can just invoke it to go run a binary anywhere on your system it's super neat.

But then you might need to account for 'these tests need a real file system' obviously :) but you could have a script create a tmpfs file mkfs.xfs it mount it and blah blah blah.

But yeah I literally use it to run mm self tests all the time, have my own scripts that wrap vng for stuff like that - hub.com/lorenzo-stoakes/review-scripts
