Thanks.

Side question. Your bail_on_lldpad logic wants to avoid lldpad from
being involved at all in the selftest. In my case, I want to make sure
that the service is disabled system-wide, so that the selftest can start
it by itself. Is that the best way to make use of lldpad in general in
the kselftest framework?
