Okay, I see. Feel free to leave it, but if it's not really needed, I'd 
prefer to keep the tests as simple as possible.

Oh, I forgot that we already discussed that.

My first attempt was exactly that, but then discovered that it didn't 
add too much except for the last one since for the others we have 2 full 
barriers back to back, so I preferred to move outside the loop. In that 
way we can also be sure the 2 `vsock_tests` are in sync with the amount 
of tests to run.

But yeah, also that one fix the issue.

Nah, don't apologize, you're doing an amazing job!
