Oops, will fix.

I used a late_initcall() here because if there is initialization code in 
the future (say setting up debugfs, sysctl tables etc), it will get run 
irrespective of whether kunit is built as a module or not.  For the module
case, we need init/exit to ensure the module can be unloaded 
successfully.

Good catch, will fix here and elsewhere, thanks!

BTW in replying to your review of patch 1 I made a mistake; we do in fact 
need to add the "#include <linux/kernel.h>" in assert.h as we are removing 
the "#include <kunit/string-stream.h>".  The latter indirectly includes 
linux/kernel.h which allows us to find definition for "struct va_format"
used in the struct kunit_assert definition. Apologies about this.

I'll have a go at generating v5 using -C as requested. Thanks again for 
the careful review!
