No, it would not be :) I have been documenting the expected semantics for
the helpers in the test itself. The idea is to collate them all (have been
working on some additional tests but waiting for this one to get merged
first) here and once most of the test gets settled, will move semantics
documentation from here into Documentation/ directory in a proper format.

/*
 * Basic operations
 *
 * mkold(entry)			= An old and not a young entry
 * mkyoung(entry)		= A young and not an old entry
 * mkdirty(entry)		= A dirty and not a clean entry
 * mkclean(entry)		= A clean and not a dirty entry
 * mkwrite(entry)		= A write and not a write protected entry
 * wrprotect(entry)		= A write protected and not a write entry
 * pxx_bad(entry)		= A mapped and non-table entry
 * pxx_same(entry1, entry2)	= Both entries hold the exact same value
