Maybe it is better to keep these tests into a separated thread (?) Because they
are touching things that are not about the server, so it might create conflicts...

What I did in the past when adding a series that was part in the kernel (tracer)
and part of tools (rtla) was to split them into two series, then referencing
one on the other - Steven suggested... and it was a good thing... and
reduced the number of versions.

So I am not adding these self-tests on top of the dl series for now... because
there is also discussion about the patches... and I am not an expert in the
selftests.... I will add a reference to this thread in the v6 cover and keep
updating it as new versions show up... in this way, one thing does not block
the other.

Thoughts?
