Talked to Stan and he mentioned the original idea was not necessarily
just for link down, but any test that could be considered disruptive to
other tests, with the idea to eventually introduce some scheduling
(postpone disruptive until the end).

If we can get common agreement on its meaning, maybe I could submit
something into the documentation and update where its misused?

I'll drop it from this patch since it doesn't bring down the link (and
seemingly no worries about check_rx_hds() tests not having it).

Best,
