Hi David!
Yes, I agree. I think it does make more sense to provide KTAP
compatibility with the parser before changing the test output. This
would also help to solve the issue that Daniel brought up on this
patch about the "KTAP version 1" line and test plan being stored
in the test.log as random kernel output. I will swap the patches in
the v2 of this patch series.

I also struggle to decide how the "Subtest" line should be handled. Since
the current KTAP v1 spec does not provide a way to declare the name of
a test with subtests prior to the results, I think it is important to continue
to include this Subtest line because it provides that functionality.
Additionally,
the line is not expected to be very disruptive for other parsers because it
is read as a diagnostic line.

The location of the "Subtest" line before the KTAP version line is potentially
not the most optimal but it seems to be the best choice while ensuring
compatibility with the current KTAP v1 spec. I recommend that we discuss
a standardized replacement for this "Subtest" line in the KTAP v2 spec.
