So keeping tools and kernel separate for RV is proving to be quite a
pain as patch 4 has conflicts. I'm going to make a third topic branch
just for RV. This will include anything in tools/verification and
kernel/trace/rv. I'll restructure the patches I already added and move
them into this branch, so that all the RV related work is there and not
in the latency or tools branches.

So no need to separate RV into kernel and tooling anymore.

The topic branches I'll have is:

tools - for things like rtla
latency - for the latency tracers (osnoise, etc)
rv - for the runtime verification work.
