Whoops: forgot the changelogs. Only patches 2 and 4 had changes. For this patch:

Changes since v4:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20220513083212.3537869-3-davidgow@google.com/
- Actually use the new TAINT_TEST name, instead of TAINT_KUNIT
(Thanks, kernel-test-robot)
- Document how to use this (or MODULE_INFO()) to taint the kernel.
(Thanks, Luis)
- Also add MODULE_INFO(test, "Y") to embed the fact that this is a
test module into the .ko
  - Nothing depends on it now, but it should allow us to tell this is
a test module without executing it in the future.

No changes since v3:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20220513083212.3537869-3-davidgow@google.com/
