When this happens, the error is printed, but the parent process just
hangs forever. Might make it hard to script running all the selftests.

Also, the other x86 selftests mostly use [RUN], [INFO], [OK], [FAIL],
[SKIP] and [OK] in their print statements. Probably should stick to the
pattern across all the print statements. This is probably a "[SKIP]".
Just realized I've omitted the "[]" in the CET series too.
