I find it confusing that run_tests() uses $1 and $2 but later ignores
them unless -f $FW_FORCE_SYSFS_FALLBACK, which is checked at both the
top level and in proc_set_*_fallback()... I'd expected the test to
happen only in run_tests() and have it removed from from
proc_set_*_fallback().

Regardless, the above patch is correct to run the tests. :)
