I did run this particular test, but it didn't seem to exercise the code
paths I wanted at the time, so I went with a custom-made implementation
only to get this patch series out of the door as quickly as possible.

But I have no plan to maintain / push this further, and we should
definitely be looking at extending the selftest instead to cover this
use-case. I'll try to get to it at some point but there are a few things
I need to finish off first :)

I hope that helps!

Thanks,
Quentin
