They feel unfinished to me though.  :)

Like using "jiffies" instead of a clocksource, which makes trouble
since the timing covers periods with IRQs disabled.  And the test
mode parameter needs work.

Except ... "rtcwake" (from util-linux-ng) already supports such
testing, albeit from userspace.   But not the timing tests.

What was the rationale for wanting this done in-kernel?  (Other
than to know it can work portably.)
