There is a link in the next paragraph. Once the documentation is
generated the path "Documentation/dev-tools/kunit/start.rst" is
transformed into a link.

I didn't want to go into much detail because the KUnit docs are
a very good resource and already explain how to run the tests in your
favorite architecture.

Since running the test on x86_64 should not change the results, I'd
prefer to keep it simple and trust the KUnit docs for the "advanced"
options.

is required after chatting with the guys working on the AMDGPU tests.
