Yeah, you can pick parts, and add your own benchmarks. They actually
have a way to automate kernel performance regression testing already
built!

But you need to do a lot of up-front planning / analysis / profiling
to do this efficiently. For example, if there's a change in the Linux
kernel block layer, you don't need to run all of the tests / suites to
detect performance regressions, just those which have a block-layer
bottleneck!
