Yeah, for real hardware it is important to be flexible.

But these virtual machines can all be exactly the same, except for the network MAC and IP.

It could even be possible to compile executables that bypass the need for a kernel, just have some libraries with the required stuff, and boot to the program, MS-DOS style.
