Right. The plan, for the record, is to augment functional tests in
futextest and move all performance related tests to perf. Davidlohr's
tests are independent from those in futextest. I haven't done an
exhaustive comparison to see if there is overlap, but since he got to
perf first, we'll determine which futextest/performance tests add value
and add tose, and deep six the rest.

The functional tests may then be moved to linux/tools and futextest will
then be obsolete.
