[PATCH v2] kunit: tool: Implement listing of available architectures

From: Thomas Weißschuh
Date: Tue Apr 15 2025 - 03:03:28 EST


To implement custom scripting around kunit.py it is useful to get a list of
available architectures. While it is possible to manually inspect
tools/testing/kunit/qemu_configs/, this is annoying to implement and
introduces a dependency on a kunit.py implementation detail.

Introduce 'kunit.py run --arch help' which lists all known architectures
in an easy to parse list. This is equivalent on how QEMU implements
listing of possible argument values.
