You mean these are unconditionally crashing the machine? If yes,
please add a comment about this.

Theoretically we could have a notion of "death tests" similar to gunit:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3698718/what-are-google-test-death-tests
KUnit test runner wrapper would need to spawn a separete process per
each such test. Under non-KUnit test runner these should probably be
disabled by default and only run if specifically requested (a-la
--gunit_filter/--gunit_also_run_disabled_tests).
Could also be used to test other things that unconditionally panic,
e.g. +Kees may be happy for unit tests for some of the
hardening/fortification features.
I am not asking to bundle this with this change of course.
