What would be the best way for kunit_tool to:
1. Know that the tests have completed as QEMU will be just sitting
there with kernel complaining about the absence of init (or running
whatever we give it as init)?
2. Read the test results from debugfs under QEMU virtual machine while
the kernel is still there?
I think supplying an init script/binary that copies the
/sys/kernel/debug/kunit/results/* to a 9p shared dir set up by
kunit_tool would work but it would add a step of cross-compiling and
packaging a userspace binary.
