As said, please follow the libc-structure, as it is the current convention;
libc/sys -> tests/lib/libc/sys
libc/gen -> tests/lib/libc/gen
and also
lib/librt -> tests/lib/librt
even though majority of this stuff is implenented inside the kernel.
There is also a more philosophical argument; unit tests like this should not
care what the implementation is or where it resides -- you are testing the
POSIX interface, so the logical place is the "user visible frontend", not
where it might be implemented. For comparable reasons, we put manual pages
to the libc directory structure, not to sys/kern.
