Is this mechanism (of counting d's) commonplace in other selftests as 
well? Looking at the test code for pkeys the debug levels run from 1-5. 
That feels like quite a few d's to input :)

Would it be easier to input the number in the command line directly?

Either way it would be useful to know the debug range in the help.
Maybe something like:
	--debug,-d  Increase debug level for each -d (1-5)

The patch seems fine to me otherwise.
