I'm for this series, but I do note a weird glitch in the ksft API.
ksft_exit_fail_msg does:

        va_start(args, msg);
        printf("Bail out! ");
        errno = saved_errno;
        vprintf(msg, args);
        va_end(args);

"Bail out!" is not very descriptive. I think I'd rather this should be:

	"FAILED: "

and then that added prefix doesn't need to be added everywhere in this
patch, nor the "error: " prefix in the next patch.
