Just go eroding it, try to figure out things that could be useful on its
own, find the right place in the tree, send a flow of small self
contained patches that comes with tooling that uses whatever new kernel
feature that is added.

I think that even if you just add a 'perf test' entry that shows how the
new feature should be used by tooling, exercising it and checking its
results, so that every time people try 'perf test' it gets re verified,
that would be ok when no other tools/ living source code exercises it.
