Rafael, Andrew,

This patch is now applied to
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/shuah/linux-kselftest.git 
fixes branch.

This spans pm, kselftest-mm tests and tools/lib and has been
in limbo for a few weeks for that reason.

I decided to take this through kselftest tree to avoid having
Joe split the patches.

thanks,
-- Shuah
