So, my impression is that adding code to the internals to test the
internals isn't a valid test (or at least makes it fragile) because the
test would depend on the changes to the internals (or at least depend on
non-default non-production CONFIGs).

Can you send a patch for what you think this should look like? Perhaps
I'm not correctly imagining what you're describing?

Regardless of testing, I think this series is ready for -mm.
