Shuah,

You will find all tests, for kernels 4.4 4.9 4.14 4.16 4.17 main and next, here:

https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3771#c8

I hope this address all your previous concerns for the test.
Please, let me know if it does not and/or you find something I should change.
Thanks in advance,
-Rafael
