I quite like this, though agree somewhat with Rae's comments below.

I personally think the time thresholds are, by necessity, very
'fuzzy', due to the varying speeds of different hardware. Fortunately,
the actual runtime of tests seems pretty well stratified, so the exact
threshold doesn't really matter much.

I ran some tests here, and all of the tests currently not marked slow
take <1s on every machine I tried (including the ancient 66MHz 486),
except for the drm_mm_* ones (which takes ~6s on my laptop, and times
out after 15 minutes on the aforementioned 486). Both the 1s and 2s
timeouts successfully distinguish those cases.

Ideally, I think we'd have something like:
#define KUNIT_SPEED_SLOW_THRESHOLD_S 1 /* 1 sec threshold for 'slow' tests */
#define KUNIT_SPEED_WARNING_MULTIPLIER 2 /* Warn when a test takes >
twice the threshold. */
#define KUNIT_SPEED_SLOW_WARNING_THRESHOLD_S
(KUNIT_SPEED_WARNING_MULTIPLIER * KUNIT_SPEED_SLOW_THRESHOLD_S)

Which is perhaps excessively verbose, but is very clear as to what
we're doing. It also gives more scope to allow the ratio to be
configured for people with very slow / fast machines in the future.

Thoughts?

Otherwise, this looks good to me.
