We may want to implement the stress utility as a separate evl-stress
command, keeping evl-test for unit testing which has a different
purpose. evl-stress as a script could generate the load (dohell) and
possibly check the latency figures reported by latmus (using the -K and
-A switches to detect weird behavior).

PS: Jorge is going to look into leveraging stress-ng for load
generation.
