Thanks a lot Peter for your suggestions!

Fengguang, like I had mentioned some time before, somebody had pointed
me to a hotplug test-suite that I believe is being used in LTP.

I have a copy of that suite, which I have attached with this mail.
I have never actually used it seriously before (because I could trigger
bugs with my simple script!), so I don't exactly know what state it is
in ;-)
