This is a pretty big change, and might break upstream CIs that have come to
rely on kselftest's existing behavior.  I know it's going to break Fuego's parsing
of results.

kselftest has a few conventions that are different from the TAP spec, 
and a few items it does that are extensions to the TAP spec.
IMHO, the TAP spec got this one wrong, but I could be convinced
otherwise.  But I think we should discuss this among CI users of
kselftest before making the change.

I started work quite a while ago on an effort to document the
conventions used by kselftest (particularly where it deviates
from the TAP spec),  but never submitted it.

I'm going to submit what I've got as an RFC now, for discussion,
even though it's not finished.  I'll do that in a separate thread.

Shuah - can you hold off on this until we discuss it?

Thanks,
