So I finally had no other pull requests pending, and spent some time
looking at this, and I see nothing offensive.

I did wonder how this then expands to having more than one subsystem
using this (and mixing them possibly on the same CI system), but
that's more about my ignorance about how the gitlab CI works than
anything else, so that's certainly not a real concern.

The other side of that "I do wonder" coin is for when others want to
use the same tests but using some other CI infrastructure, whether
it's some AWS or google cloud thing, or github or whatever.

Anyway, considering that both of my idle curiosity reactions were
about "if this is successful", I think me having those questions only
means that I should pull this, rather than questioning the pull
itself.

If it works out so well that others want to actually do this and
integrate our other selftests in similar manners, I think that would
be lovely.

And if - as you say - this is a failure and the whole thing gets
deleted a year from now as "this didn't go anywhere", it doesn't look
like it should cause a ton of problems either.

Anyway, it's in my tree now, let's see where it goes.
