Do we need both "fast" and "normal". KUnit tests are normally very
fast: I'm not sure there's a way to make them faster enough to make a
separate category here useful.

My rule of thumb here is that a test is slow if it takes more than a
"trivial" amount of time (<1s), regardless of the machine it's running
on.
While the actual speed taken varies a lot (the time_test_cases take ~3
seconds on most fast, modern machines, even under something like qemu,
but ~15 minutes on an old 486), it's the idea that a test is doing
some significant amount of work (loops over many thousands or millions
of entries, etc) that pretty comfortably divides these into "normal"
and "slow".
Most tests run very, very quickly on even very slow systems, as all
they're doing is checking the result of one or two trivial
calculations or functions.

I'd ask if we need a KUNIT_CASE_VERY_SLOW() as well, but let's leave
that until we have something which uses it.

Question: Does it make sense to have these in this order: slow ->
fast? I think it does ("speed>slow" seems more correct than
"speed<slow"), but it'd be the other way round if we wanted to call
this, e.g., size instead of speed.
That being said, if it went the other way, we could rely on the fact
that the default is fast, and not need a separate "unset" default...

Nit: Can we remove the hardcoded [1] here, and let the compiler do this for us?

Would we want to actually make this test slow? e.g. introduce a delay
or a big loop or something.
Probably not (I think it'd be more irritating than illuminating), but
maybe worth thinking of.
