Still want to test it with TCG though, which had quite a few bugs I
used these tests to fix. It is marked as known fail for TCG (once the
later host accel patch is merged).

Yeah it could use first subnode.

Yeah, maybe first immediate test could ensure it doesn't go
backward, then wait a bit and check it increments.

Okay.
