Cool, thanks for doing that.  I think a lot of this came from Nick Piggin
a long time ago, but I was bad about attributing it.

I wonder how good the coverage is - I don't think it's been seriously
updated since 2010 and presumably it isn't hitting on later-added
features.  Doesn't matter - someone will add things later if needed. 
And when I bug them to update the test harness ;) 

I don't think it will link on my system - I have no liburcu by default.
I wonder if this will break lots of people's "make kselftest".

I'll get all this into -next tomorrow.  Hopefully Ross will have time
to go through it sometime (non-urgently - it's 4.6 stuff).
