Thanks, this works much better on my setup: having an explicit error
for there not being enough CPUs is a lot better than hanging. It'd
still be nice to have these be "skipped" rather than "failed" at some
stage, but that's a nice-to-have for the future once we've implemented
such a thing in KUnit.

I'm still a little hesitant about non-deterministic tests in general â
even if they're only run when CONFIG_KCSAN is enabled, it's possible
that a future CI system could run under KCSAN and report false
breakages on unrelated patches. Given no such setup exists yet,
though, I think it's probably a problem for the future rather than a
blocker at the moment.

Regardless, I hit no unexpected issues in my testing, so,
