Huh. I guess its possible. However I'd like to avoid starting
yet-another-testing-framework.

The idea of keeping kernel tests close to the code could be nice since
it might avoid the bit-rot many testing suites get where bad tests start
failing and no one cares enough or has the context to sort out fixing
false positives.

But looking at the ltp project page, it seems there have been some good
cleanups in fixing known failures since last I looked (4 or so years
back). So it might be LTP is the proper place for this.
