Re: sleepy linux self-test

See the appended; it includes more of Ingo's suggestions.

Since this is increasingly unrelated to the "sleepy linux" concept
(a version of what systems like OLPC, N700, and N800 are doing), I
got rid of the "sleepy.c" file.

The changes look good to me.

They feel unfinished to me though.  :)

Like using "jiffies" instead of a clocksource, which makes trouble
since the timing covers periods with IRQs disabled.  And the test
mode parameter needs work.

Well, it would be nice to have this feature in as soon as reasonably possible,
so that people can include suspend tests in the automated testing.

Except ... "rtcwake" (from util-linux-ng) already supports such
testing, albeit from userspace.   But not the timing tests.

What was the rationale for wanting this done in-kernel?  (Other
than to know it can work portably.)
