Sure, but what is the reason for the wrapper?
On inspection I think its' because you need the right sysfs name; it'd
just be nice to say that it's the reason for the readlink/basename
frobbing of the existing $SCRATCH_DEV. Not a huge deal.

Any thoughts on this? As it stands it requires debugfs to be
at /sys/kernel/debug (by default) *and* mounted prior to the test run.
So it's another (maybe unexpected) piece of pre-test setup which might
result in this test not getting run.
