As a debugfs function, its usage will be more flexible for users.

After a live migration error occurs. Through this debugfs function,
you can perform separate functional tests on the source and destination
to locate the cause of the error.

Can't you write a trivial userspace

Sorry, I still wish this feature was a simple debugfs feature.
If you want the userspace testing tool you mentioned,
you can try it on mlx5.
