In the first case, I'm not sure what's happening -- the logs don't seem
to show anything, but the lkdtm should be available (from the boot log).

In the second case, yes, it looks like missing CONFIG_LKDTM (the test
even has a "config" file). Either CONFIG_LKDTM=y or CONFIG_LKDTM=m will
work (the test running will attempt to load the lkdtm module if it's
missing).

A final option is that either the debug filesystem isn't mounted, or is
mounted somewhere "non-standard"? (I'd expect a lot of things to fail...)
