Thanks for the review.

OK, I've replaced with socat for the v4 I am working on. I've also
added some additional documentation to the FAQ in the cover letter
and the kernel documentation to help answer Sridhar's question
because it may be a question others have as well.

I think I'm going to go the C route.
Just to make sure I'm following how to do this properly:
- I've added busy_poller to YNL_GEN_FILES (and removed it from
TEST_GEN_FILES)
- It still needs to be run via the script (which sets up netdevsim
etc), so I am leaving that script (busy_poll_test.sh) in
TEST_PROGS. busy_poller is not intended to be run on its own for
selftest purposes.
I am not sure if YNL_GEN_FILES are expected to run standalone when
invoked or if this will work as I expect it to (busy_poll_test.sh is
run):
[...]
TEST_PROGS += busy_poll_test.sh
# YNL files, must be before "include ..lib.mk"
YNL_GEN_FILES := ncdevmem busy_poller
[...]
Doing the above: I am hoping that busy_poll_test.sh will be run
(which will use busy_poller) and that busy_poller won't be run on
its own.
Thanks for the guidance.
