So, in userland development, the idea of mocking is used to isolate context
management and machine configuration into a single class or set of functions
that can be reused, and also facilitate testing much easier. Google mock is a
great example.

Say I develop a kernel module, and I want that module to have some result X
after some returned result, whatever that might be. Is there anything similar
for kernel code??
Not really, sorry.  Running in the kernel means you don't have much room
for "simulation".  But you can use qemu, or other virtual machines and a
debugger to test your code if you really want to.

Good luck!
