Thanks a lot, Joe. It looks nice. I'll include it in v3. One question
below.

Shouldn't we call push_ftrace_enabled() somewhere at the beginning of the
test script? set_dynamic_debug() calls its push_dynamic_debug() directly,
but set_ftrace_enabled() is different, because it is called more than once
in the script.

One could argue that ftrace_enabled has to be true at the beginning of
testing anyway, but I think it would be cleaner. Btw, we should probably
guarantee that ftrace_enabled is true when livepatch selftests are
invoked.
