This "well known place" could be a branch in the git repository, maybe
with an obvious name like "for-testing/brick-multiplex". In case the
patch needs changing, everyone could then just update it and send a
review. Maybe it is even possible to automatically rebase the
"for-testing" branch every now and then.

A Jenkins job can then checkout the master branch, and merge the
"for-testing" branch before running the tests.

Or, we have a change on review.gluster.org that never gets merged, and
gets cherry-picked before running the regression tests (probably
easier).
