Here in lies an assumption that suffices. I'm inclined to believe we
need new initcall level here so to ensure we *do* run after all the
respective kernels iniut calls. Otherwise we're left at the whims of
link order for kunit. For instance if a kunit test relies on frameworks
which are also late_initcall() we'd have complete incompatibility with
anything linked *after* kunit.

Some mention of UML may be good here?

I'm a bit conflicted here. This currently depends on UML but yet you
noted on RFC v2 that your intention is to liberate kunit from UML and
ideally allow unit tests to depend only on userspace. I've addressed
tests using both selftests kernels drivers and also re-written kernel
APIs to userspace to test there. I think we may need to live with both.
Then for the UML stuff, I think if we *really* accept that UML will
always be a viable option we should probably consider now throwing these
things under drivers/platform/uml/. This follows the pattern of arch
specific drivers. Whether or not we end up with a complete userspace
UML platform drivers predate that and are under arch/um/drivers/
We should either keep to current convention or consider relocating the
existing ones - having things spread in different places around the tree
is not good in the long run (UML already has a few of those under the
x86 tree, let's not increase the number).
component independent of UML may implicate having a shared component
somewhere else.
Likewise, I realize the goal is to *avoid* using a virtual machine for
these tests, but would it in any way make sense to share kunit to be
supported for other architectures to allow easier-to-write tests as
well?
