Hi,

I actually work on a patch series to improve|rewrite the memtest command.
This will add a iteration argument, too.

I will try to find some time this weekend to make it done.

Regards
Alexander Aring

The number of test iterations can be specified so that the test
does not continue forever without manual intervention.

This enables better use of mtest via scripts.

What's with [pattern]?
It's only available in MTEST_ALTERNATIVE.
