This is in preparation for patch 19/19 and other hypothetical future
patches where test cases are split up and grouped together by what
portion of DT they test (for example the parsing tests and the
platform/device tests would probably go separate files as well). This
patch by itself does not do anything useful, but I figured it made
patch 19/19 (and, if you like what I am doing, subsequent patches)
easier to review.
