USB2 test mode is a required hardware feature for system integrators 
validating their hardware according to USB spec, regarding signal strength and 
stuff. It is purely a hardware test feature.

Useually you need an oscilloscope and have to enable those test modes on the 
hardware. This will send some specific test patterns on D+/D-. There is no 
report available (in linux itself) as it is purely externaly visible.
Regular USB usage is not possible at that time.
Anyone (well access to e.g. /dev/bus/usb/001/001 provided) can use it by 
sending appropriate USB_PORT_FEAT_TEST requests to the hub.
The same feature for ehci based hosts is already available at 
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/usb/host/ehci-hub.c#n1267
