Heh, Johannes and I just had a discussion on the test framework locations last weekend over a beer. Both of us agree that a separate repository would be much preferable, mostly due to two reasons: - it allows people that backport changes (e.g. distros) to always run the latests test suite without having to backport it as well, and have one test suite config for all branches - ease of running it from a VM or initramfs instead of having to download the whole kernel tree or copying things out Last but not least it also seems a little easier to get started that way.
