Each "remove -$X" patch references the rt-tests commit that removed the
cyclictest option in question. I felt it's valuable to reference such
option removal commits on a one-by-one basis.

Perfect is the enemy of the good.
I have another patch series on top of this one which further expands upon
most of the parameters' description.
So, I would suggest that we first:
(a) review/merge this series
(b) review/merge the next one
(c) I send a third patch queue that transforms most of the project's
manpages to rst2man.
The rt-tests project already has 19 groff manpages:
rt-tests (main)$ find src/ -name '*.8'
src/sigwaittest/sigwaittest.8
src/hackbench/hackbench.8
src/oslat/oslat.8
src/pi_tests/pi_stress.8
src/pi_tests/pip_stress.8
src/svsematest/svsematest.8
src/backfire/sendme.8
src/hwlatdetect/hwlatdetect.8
src/pmqtest/pmqtest.8
src/queuelat/queuelat.8
src/queuelat/determine_maximum_mpps.8
src/signaltest/signaltest.8
src/ptsematest/ptsematest.8
src/rt-migrate-test/rt-migrate-test.8
src/cyclictest/get_cyclictest_snapshot.8
src/cyclictest/cyclictest.8
src/ssdd/ssdd.8
src/sched_deadline/cyclicdeadline.8
src/sched_deadline/deadline_test.8
So IMHO there's a weak ground for requesting the format transformation
beforehand; i.e., the (a)-(b)-(c) development order above is the most
sensible.
Thanks!
