This series looks fine to me. BTW, another way to speed up the test suit is using makefile to invoke more than one job of test suite. Currently all test suit are execute one by one. But there is no inter dependency between the test. So in theory we can change the Makefile a bit to run more than one job on the test suit using pattern rules. Chris
