That's a worthy goal, but only if the test suite was an "external
component" that you shipped outside of FreeBSD and was easily
applicable to other systems.

As it is now, the test suite lives in the FreeBSD tree and therefore
it can be considered to be FreeBSD-specific. Special-casing things out
as only applying to FreeBSD will be difficult to maintain and make
little sense in the current context.

Now... all this can (and should) easily turn into the more generic
discussion of: how to define tests that can be shared across the
various BSDs and how to better maintain them?  I currently have no
answer for that, but it's a pretty large topic to cover.
