sysctl and keyctl are actually testing kernel bugs. 
Other kernel related (at least lsmod, mkfs, mkswap, unshare, ldd, gdb) + TPM tools
(tpm-tools, ...) are probably valid.

I guess most of user space tools not related to kernel (cp, cron, df, ln, tar, unzip, wc,
which) are questionable.
du01 and ar01 are mentioned in git log to catch some bug, so we'd have to carefully check
one by one if we want to remove them (and remove them in separate commits, but that's
obvious).

Kind regards,
Petr
