The trivial keyword can be used to reduce the testing time (both wall-clock time as well as total system hours) for patches that do not affect code functionality, such as changes to whitespace, comments, man pages, and test scripts (in conjunction with the testlist keyword to ensure the modified test script is run if it isn't already).  Patches marked with trivial in the Test-Parameters: list will will only run the review-ldiskfs test session, which currently runs only only sanity and lnet-selftest to ensure basic functionality.  If changes are only being made to a test script outside of those already run by default, an additional testlist=<test-script>script(s)> keyword should be added with a comma-separated list of modified tests to ensure the test is they are run to validate the changes.  The trivial keyword will reduce the test completion time from approximately 10h elapsed and 30h of system time to 3h elapsed/system time, which and may also be further reduced further in the future.
