Oh I see.  I pushed v3 as 637dec9d45db4df2a3e6aa565fa2c5cf6bb77768 with
minor tweaks (long lines and one or two synopses/descriptions tweaked.)

IWBN to see if we can still run those tests somehow, or at least the
subset of them that doesn’t rely on /sys/fs/cgroup.  I’d argue that the
test harness should automatically skip tests that cannot be run; perhaps
worth raising upstream?

Thanks!
