I don't know if this test is useful for a user of KUnit. Given it's not
testing KUnit functionality (I see you added tests that the feature
works in patch 1/3), but rather a demonstration and therefore dead code.
I don't think the feature is difficult to understand from the API doc
text.

Instead, would it be more helpful to add something to
Documentation/dev-tools/kunit? Or perhaps just add something to
lib/kunit/kunit-example-test.c? It'd avoid introducing more Kconfig
options at least.

Thanks,
