Thanks. This is good. A part of me still would've preferred the TAP
header to have been altered, but it probably makes more sense to leave
that until after Rae's parser rework patch anyway, which has better
support for multiple possible TAP headers anyway.

I did find an issue when running this under qemu/i386: a timing
problem with interleaved lines. We could do something drastic, like
having a marker at the start of every line to identify which ones are
tests, but that does seem like overkill for a (hopefully) rare
problem. Just ignoring obviously invalid lines should do it. Futher
details below.

It turns out that this can trigger on some machines/architectures if
there are other lines of kernel output which either get interspersed
in the test list, or -- more likely -- between the test list and the
"Restarting System" line.

On i386, under qemu, I'm seeing this output:
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -nodefaults -m 1024 -kernel
.kunit/arch/x86/boot/bzImage -append 'kunit.action=list mem=1G
console=tty kunit_shutdown=halt console=ttyS0 kunit_shutdown=reboot'
-no-reboot -nographic -serial stdio
...
property-entry.pe_test_reference
random: fast init done
input: ImExPS/2 Generic Explorer Mouse as
/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input2
reboot: Restarting system
reboot: machine restart

Which translates into the following kunit_tool error:
$ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --run_isolated=suite --arch=i386
...
 File "./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py", line 114, in _suites_from_test_list
   raise ValueError(f'internal KUnit error, test name should be of the
form "<suite>.<test>", got "{t}"')
ValueError: internal KUnit error, test name should be of the form
"<suite>.<test>", got "random: fast init done"


Could we maybe ignore entries of the incorrect form?
