Hi,

this series is super-useful for local testing. It especially helps when
switching between isar patch series and testing multiple things in a
row. It further can be easily extended for testing the rootless mode,
which otherwise is tricky.

Can we please integrate this, it still cleanly applies on top of isar
1.1.
