Indeed. In my script I had added the remote for the rcu git archive, but
forgot to actually fetch the objects and refs, and missed the error
message in the output.
Sorry for the noise, though the variable name should probably
namespaced, as at least for the name `KVM` the chance are higher (still
very small) that it’s set in the environment.
Kind regards,
Paul

In -rcu and -next, it is now named "RCUTORTURE". But if there are
other rcutorture environment variables in need of namespacing, please
let me know.
Thanx, Paul
