I'm glad to see that a brave new soul has taken on my old role of being overly anxious to test kernels. I hope that filesystem corruptions and the like do not plague you like they did me in the 2.3.x series of kernels. I would suggest partimage as a good way to backup your system prior to experimenting.
I know I sound cynical, but there's a reason that kernel hackers have a development box to run development kernels on.
