Indeed, and also TC tests, and all the ones using kselftest_harness.h I
think.

I guess the best would be to have the kselftests infrastructure fully
supporting KTAP, and then have a way for each test to print subtests
correctly, not nested in the comments like it is done for the moment.
But that looks harder to put in place, and the current solution is used
in a few areas.

Good idea to switch to 'TAP version 13' for the moment, and re-use the
existing parsing in NIPA!
