Ack, I understand that much.

My confusion is why this doesn't work:

$ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --kunitconfig /dev/stdin <<EOF
CONFIG_KUNIT=y
CONFIG_RATIONAL=y
EOF
...
ERROR:root:Provided Kconfig is not contained in validated .config.
Following fields found in kunitconfig, but not in .config:
CONFIG_RATIONAL=y

What it's complaining about is that `make  ARCH=um olddefconfig` is
leaving CONFIG_RATIONAL=y unset.

Stripping out kunit.py, it's this:

$ echo -e 'CONFIG_KUNIT=y\nCONFIG_RATIONAL=y' > .kunit/.config
$ make ARCH=um olddefconfig O=.kunit
$ grep RATIONAL .kunit/.config

I'm not versed in Kconfig enough to know why CONFIG_RATIONAL=y is
getting removed.
