o Introduce "options REGRESSION", a kernel option which enables
interfaces and functionality intended for use during correctness and
regression testing. Features enabled by "options REGRESSION" may
in and of themselves introduce security or correctness problems if
used improperly, and so are not intended for use in production
systems, only in testing environments.
