Note that slub also has an embedded selftest (see function
resiliency_test). That code could be separated out and put with the
selftests that you are creating now.

I also have a series of in kernel benchmarks for the page allocation, vm
statistics and slab allocators that could be useful to included somewhere.

All this code runs in the kernel context.

For the in kernel benchmarks I am creating modules that fail to load but
first run the tests.
