Unit test results:

In summary, quite impressive in a negative sense. At least some of the
problems (such as the tinyconfig build failures, and some of the test
failures) have already been reported. I simply don't have the time for a
detailed analysis. Logs are available at https://kerneltests.org/builders,
in the "master" column, for those with time to track things down.
