Yep, tools/testing/selftests/vm. It's pretty simple and stupid at
present - it anything about the framework irritates you, please fix it!

General guidelines for tools/testing/selftests: the tool should execute
quickly and shouldn't break the overall selftests run at either compile
time or runtime if kernel features are absent, Kconfig is unexpected,
etc.

It's more a "place to accumulate and maintain selftest programs" than a
serious self-testing framework.
