You might want to change it for a lower-case "if", like: "For example,
if a directory path "lib/kunit"".

This explanation may imply that if I pass `--kunitconfig
lib/kunit/.kunitconfig` it wouldn't work, as "/.kunitconfig" is always
appended to the path. But this is not true, both `--kunitconfig
lib/kunit/.kunitconfig` and `--kunitconfig lib/kunit` are valid options.

You could expand this example to:
```
./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --kconfig_add CONFIG_KASAN=y
```

ARCH is not a "make parameter", ARCH is a environment variable.
Therefor, ARCH is not "passed to make", as it a environment variable on
the shell. Check the ARCH documentation [1].

This is a copy of the explanation on [2]. You may want to delete the
previous explanation or change this one.

"containing a `QemuArchParams` object."

The qemu_config has also a pretty good documentation on [2].

This CLI argument is already explained on [3]. You may want to delete
the previous explanation or change this one.

Same here.

This command line argument is already explain on the Parse Test Results
section [4].

It's great to see new documentation for KUnit!
