That would be nice. As long as it's in userspace and it runs validation
tests, it's pretty welcome.
It's deemed to test expected behaviour with deterministic tests. stress tests
probably don't fit well there although it should be no problem if they are short.

Hmm, benchmarks tend to require some user analysis, I'm not sure if a batch of
validation tests is the right place for them. But loading modules is probably
not a problem.
