Not sure how that could happen, I didn't think the kbuild bot knows
how to set these options.

Overall I think you should follow the existing frame works instead
of inventing your own so that things can be later tested in an
uniform manner.

Perhaps the fault injection framework needs boot options, but
they should be generic.
