Great, thank you!

For KVM (or similar), I guess it is not available, right? Some
time-sensitive tests might be unstable in such environment, and need to
be skipped.

For the notifications, do not hesitate to contact the corresponding
maintainers, the last people who modified the problematic selftests and
the netdev list. These "net" selftests are now better maintained, and
they are regularly validated on the development branches:
