We express hope that someday this becomes part of Linux Kernel in some
form or the other. From test engineers point of view, we would like to
have those test case in LTP. This will give access of the test cases to
a huge community of test engineers.

We would like to know if you would be interested to contribute these
test cases to the Linux Test Project (http://ltp.sourceforge.net/) under
GPLv2 with somebody sending the Patch with a DCO Signoff. I would like
to put it here:
