Something TAP-alike would also help reduce some of the spew from
tests that are going to fail.
eg, running execveat tests on a kernel that doesn't implement that
syscall currently spews around 20 lines of [FAIL]. Adding something
to the beginning of the test to set plan() accordingly if it detects
-ENOSYS could make that output a little cleaner.
That other projects (like jenkins, bug trackers etc) could consume
the output of the test runs would be a nice bonus. I only recently
started looking at kselftests and was surprised at the amount
of variance we have in the way of printing 'Ok' '[OK]' 'ok...' etc.
