All my tests are now passing.

Build results:
	total: 157 pass: 157 fail: 0
Qemu test results:
	total: 522 pass: 522 fail: 0

If I don't have anything better to do, I'll try to add mode boot and kunit
tests and try to find some that are failing. Other than that, I'll keep
testing, but only report until 6.5 if there are new failures (in other
words, the lack of reports in the next few weeks will be good news).
