+The SPL comes with an automated test suite called SPLAT.  The test suite
+is implemented in two parts.  There is a kernel module which contains
+the tests and a user space utility which controls which tests are run.
+To run the full test suite:
+
+    $ sudo insmod ./module/splat/splat.ko
+    $ sudo ./cmd/splat --all
