Sorry: the explanation is a bit obtuse, I admit.

Basically, when kunit itself is built as a module, no tests run. This
is because the code to load the .kunit_test_suites section is compiled
out if kunit is not built-in, but it should be present even if kunit
is built as a module.

None whatsoever, and it should be impossible. This was just rationale
for the overhead of loading the section being likely insignificant,
but it's worded pretty poorly.

I'll update the commit message when I send a new version of this out.
