I like the shared logic approach in general provided it leaves the
flexibility to not use the shared logic if a test have the need to
do so. This series requires some patch planning. shared logic patch
followed by individual test patches as opposed a single patch.

I would like to see the shared logic work done on top of my patch v4
series.

thanks,
