That's a good idea.

I still need to post my ftrace tests somewhere. I could add it to
tools/testing/selftests, but I break rule #1:

 *  Do as much as you can if you're not root

because ftrace only works with root.

Some of my tests take a bit of time to run as well. Maybe it's OK to
just add a tools/testing/tracing directory to place my tests (after
they get cleaned up to be "public"). Or perhaps just send them to the
LTP project.
