The first thing that would worry me about such an architecture would be deadlocks between user space and kernel PCI accesses trapped under simulation. If you take a look at Xen or qemu both would give you a way to run the virtualised simulated device in Linux user space on a sane complete Linux environment while running a seperate copy of Linux experiencing the simulated device. Xen is fast - very fast, qemu is somewhat slower but because it is a JIT can do accurate tracing and has a lovely well designed API for adding virtualised drivers, plus nice examples like video cards and a virtual NE2000.
