Thanks Jiri, It is a ways away from complete. I was thinking to follow up with:
* Migrate the current sub-test approach to use kunit style test cases
within a suite.
* Combine what are currently independent test suites into one test
suite with different test cases, for example stat.c contains stat,
stat_config and stat_round tests.

Once this is done then to unify with kunit we need to work out a
common pattern for skipping a test, etc. There's already a lot here
and so I wanted to get an opinion before pushing along further.

I have pretty easy access to ARM but lost access to PowerPC. If we're
happy with the direction then I can test ARM and ask for help on
PowerPC.

Thanks,
