A lot of my tests are big time hacks. When I get time, I start to
convert them over to the ftrace selftests. Some have already been
converted. Some of those tests wont go because they take up too much
time, and the selftests are suppose to be rather quick.

Perhaps we should talk at KS about what to do with tests that are not
suitable for selftests but would be nice for others to run. Should we
have a selftests section for "this may take a while to finish"?
