This looks very cool, definitely something I'm tempted to play with (having never done any dev in this area before).

However, the feedback loop for debugging drivers on Windows seems quite manual (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/mt...). On Linux I'd have SSH at my disposal - are there any best practices for speeding up this copy/install process? Cygwin sshd could be an option, off the top of my head?

First step I'd say is to import your certificate into the the debugged computer, so it doesn't warn you every time you re-upload the driver [1]. Second, use powershell remoting [2]. Pretty much all of the other steps can be established and automated with a powershell remote connection. I'm in fact surprised that microsoft hasn't updated that page to use powershell, because driver debugging is a task where it could be invaluable in helping.
