That's good to hear. But bear in mind that run_vmtests.sh does not use TAP. So
you end up with a single top-level test who's result is reported with
run_kselftest.sh's TAP output. Then you have a second level (run_vmtests.sh)
using custom reporting, then _some_ of the tests invoked use TAP so you
sometimes have TAP at level 3. But those tests at level 2 that don't do their
own TAP output probably won't be parsed by LAVA?

Since you agreed to put this into the CI, I was going to call this part "your
problem" ;-)
