I'm assuming you don't mean ".test_variants" here, but runtest entries
using same binary with different parameters. Currently we have a "tag"
that can refer to binary+parameters pair. Which is also useful, for
skipping tests - e.g. they run long, they are broken, or older kernel
is known to crash - we have a list of checks that modify runtest files
before actual run to avoid running into known issues (or save time).
