I haven't gone through the entire patch, but i have a question. Was this 
exercised for bare-metal?

If not, please make sure this test works correctly on bare-metal targets 
before assuming it does just because it passes on Linux-hosted tests. 
Otherwise we may have spurious failures due to tests that are not 
supposed to be executed in a bare-metal environment.

If you don't have access to bare-metal testing, i could give this a try 
(it may take a couple days though) and report back.


Thanks,
