Yeah: some tests are marked __init. KUnit does actually mark these
with an attribute, so we can potentially split the execution up into
an 'init' part which runs early, and a later part, but there are some
complications if we still want to track the total number of tests and
support filtering, etc. properly.
That's something I think we'll look at for 6.13: in the meantime,
skipping the problematic slub tests when built-in seems to be the
right short-term fix. I'll look into having the built-in executor
moved later for non-init tests once we've worked out how best to adapt
the filter/KTAP output code to do so as cleanly as possible.
