This will now apply (almost) cleanly to Linus's latest tree - I fixed up a trivial 
conflict in selftests/vm/Makefile.

Note that I also improved the changelog.

Note #2: I'd suggest this patch to be split into two patches:

 - patch 1 moves the testcase to vm/selftests
 - patch 2 does all the additional improvements

because this way all the deltas will be much easier to see and review.

Thanks,

	Ingo
