If you do test a kernel you build yourself, you may want to use
"localmodconfig". Which will look at all the modules that are loaded on the
local system and turn off the configs for modules that are not loaded. This
will save a lot of time compiling the kernel. Especially if your basing off
of a distro config.

  $ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git
  $ cd linux
  $ cp /boot/config-[whatever your kernel is] .config
  $ yes '' | make localmodconfig

Then build your kernel.

  $ make -j10
  $ sudo make modules_install install

of course ;-)
