Introduce a test specification to be able to concisely describe a test. Currently, a test is implemented by sprinkling test specific if statements here and there, which is not scalable or easy to understand. The end goal with this patch set is to come to the point in which a test is completely specified by a test specification that can easily be constructed in a single function so that new tests can be added without too much trouble. This test specification will be run by a test runner that has no idea about tests. It just executes the what test specification states. This patch introduces the test specification and, as a start, puts the two interface objects in there, one containing the packet stream to be sent and the other one the packet stream that is supposed to be received for a test to pass. The global variables containing these can then be eliminated. The following patches will convert each existing test into a test specification and add the needed fields into it and the functionality in the test runner that act on the test specification. At the end, the test runner should contain no test specific code and each test should be described in a single simple function.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
