Since this was originally changed to support modules (so clearly,
they're being used), I don't think breaking module support (even
temporarily) is going to be worth it:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=2c6ea4e2cefe2e86af782a5b8e1070f4d434f2f2

Obviously, when module support is improved, then this fix will make a
lot of sense.

I do think adding the .kunitconfig file is worth doing (though
obviously there are some small problems with the way results show up
separately from any other tests due to the issue above).
