+Testing
+^^^^^^^
+
+Code should be tested before submitting to the tip maintainers.  Anything
+other than minor changes should be built, booted and tested with
+comprehensive (and heavyweight) kernel debugging options enabled.
+
+These debugging options can be found in kernel/configs/x86_debug.config
+and can be added to an existing kernel config by running:
+
+	make x86_debug.config
+
+Some of these options are x86-specific and can be left out when testing
+on other architectures.
