If you want to see better testing of things in mainline please
contribute to the various kernel testing efforts that are out there,
there's a huge range of systems out there using the kernel and it's
simply not realistic to expect that they'll all be covered, the testing
effort for the kernel is very much a community effort.  If there are
things that are particularly important to you the best way to ensure
that they are tested is to provide that testing yourself.
