Well, dont waste too much time on it (beyond the due diligence 
level) - Andi forgot that the right way to stress-test patches is to 
get through the review process and then through the integration 
trees which have far more test exposure than any single contributor 
can test.

Patch submitters cannot possibly test every crazy possibility that 
is out there - nor should they: it just doesnt scale. What we expect 
people to do is to write clean patches, to test the bits on their 
own boxes and submit them to lkml and address specific review 
feedback.
