+7 Testing pre-release kernel features<br>
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br>
+<br>
+Tests for features not yet in a mainline kernel release are accepted. However<br>
+they must only be added to the +staging+ runtest file. Once a feature is part<br>
+of the stable kernel ABI the associated test must be moved out of staging.<br>
+<br>
+This is primarily to help test kernel RCs by avoiding the need to download<br>
+separate LTP patchsets.<br>
