Seems that you have some good feedback from Arnd to be looking at.  I'm
usually the guy for mysterious misc stuff such as this, so please cc me
on future revisions.

The name "hw_test" and "HW_TEST" is too vague.  The topic "testing
hardware" is very broad, and this module only touches a small fraction
of it, so please think up a far more specific name.
