Build your image for qemuarm as 5MB ext2 image. Copy it to have clean image 
for testing. Boot qemu with "mem=32M" given for kernel. Do test. Then copy 
clean.ext2 as base for next test.

This way you do not have to reflash your device each time, have control over 
space available and can have small RAM.
