They feel unfinished to me though. :)
Like using "jiffies" instead of a clocksource, which makes trouble since the timing covers periods with IRQs disabled. And the test mode parameter needs work.

Except ... "rtcwake" (from util-linux-ng) already supports such testing, albeit from userspace. But not the timing tests.
What was the rationale for wanting this done in-kernel? (Other than to know it can work portably.)
