I don't know if this piece is needed. My thought would be rather than
mess with the run_vmtest.sh directly which is more of a pass/fail test
it might be better to handle this more like test_vmalloc.sh and just
put together your own performance test that you can run to collect the
data, and then if you want to be a part of this test you could call
that script from here.
