I do like your changes and I'll start queuing them up soon. Probably
need to rename the PASS_COUNT though. What do you think of RERUN?

Anyway, I only post to Linus during the merge window (except for bug

The best thing about this patchset, is that it proves that ktest is used
by more than 1 person. It's doubled its usage statistics!
