In authoring new tests, it became necessary and

new AHCI tests.

This patch set issues the necessary refactorings
to support future test development for AHCI.

This patch set DOES NOT account for any new fixes
and requires no fixes from my "AHCI fixes" RFC
in order to run successfully on 2014-09-18's
origin/master.

This patch set does not alter the operation of the
existing test, or add new tests. It only offers
refactorings for future patch submissions which
depend on them, but are still under consideration.

Ignorant question: why should we commit the "monolithic" test only to
refactor it extensively right away?


Newbie problems, basically.

I submitted the first AHCI test series 2014-07-07. The tests were staged last week. A lot happened on my downstream copy in that time, but I opted to keep the series "the same scope" from v1 through v4, because otherwise the series would have just kept growing ... I submitted v4

I do apologize at how absurd it is, on your end, to see an introduction followed immediately by a refactor. It seemed like the idea at the time was to get a basis that people agreed upon, then modify as needed.

Sorry for the confusion.
