Makes sense. And in anycase, it is something I do want to do, just not
right now. I will put a TODO here in the next revision.

I am in favor of the current method since init and exit are optional
arguments. I could see myself (actually I am planning on) adding more
optional things to the kunit_module, so having optional arguments will
make my life a lot easier since I won't have to go through big
refactorings around the kernel to support new features that tie in
here.
