I don't see how kdevops integration of the radix tree, xarray and maple
tree test suite is useful.  It's a white-box test suite.  kdevops is
more suited for black-box testing like xfstests and mmtests.

When we find a problem in the various data structures through the black
box testing of their users (like the page cache or the VMA), it's on us
to add tests that exercise that functionality.  Like 2a0774c2886d.

The important thing is that the data structures by design don't depend
on much of the kernel.  So if they work in-and-of themselves, there's
not much to gain by doing tests in-kernel.
