I see you are exporting 3 scripts, but only invoking 2 of them from
run_vmtests.sh below. Is one a helper that gets called indirectly?

I'm not really a fan of adding this last test here; its destructive because it
poisons 8 hugepages. So at a minimum, I think you need to modify the code in
run_vmtests.sh to ensure those extra pages are allocated (there is already a
section in the script that allocates hugepages).

However, given this test is destructive, I'd prefer that it wasn't run as part
of the main test set. Because the first time you run it, it will presumably
pass, but now some of the hugepages are poisoned so next time you run it, there
won't be enough unpoisoned hugepages and a test will fail. So you have very
confusing behaviour for a developer who might be running these tests multiple
times per boot (e.g. me).

Perhaps we can add a -d (destructive) option to the script, and this test will
only be run if that option is passed?

Thanks,
Ryan
