There is verifier testsuite that is testing eBPF verifier from userspace via bpf syscall. Also there are multiple examples and libbpf. I think test coverage for bpf syscall is quite substantial already.
As far as manpage I already mentioned my plan in the other thread. I will do it when stuff lands, since writing docs in english is the most difficult part of these patches. I already rewrote Documentation/../filter.txt several times. Even once Kees noticed discrepancies there when interface changed from map_id to map_fd. To do a manpage I'll use a help from tech writer, since I want it to be better than docs I put in Documentation/...
