Hi Jon,

It is impressive how a single patch became a series with 25 ones ;-)
*sigh*

I will try to have a good look at these shortly.  It seems pretty clear
that this isn't 7.0 material at this point, though.

One thing that jumped at me:
Ah, due to the complexity of NestedMatch, I opted to write
some unit tests to verify that the logic there is correct.
We can use it to add other border cases.

Using it is as easy as running:

	$ tools/unittests/nested_match.py

(I opted to create a separate directory for it, as this
is not really documentation)
Do we really need another unit-testing setup in the kernel?  I can't say
I'm familiar enough with kunit to say whether it would work for
non-kernel code; have you looked and verified that it isn't suitable?

Thanks,

jon
