Since it's arbitrary, I somewhat prefer the idea of leaving up
entirely to the caller
i.e.
$ kunit.py run --kconfig_add=CONFIG_SMP=y --qemu_args '-smp 8'
We could add CONFIG_SMP=y to the default qemu_configs/*.py and do
$ kunit.py run --qemu_args '-smp 8'
but I'd prefer the first, even if it is more verbose.
Marco, does this seem reasonable from your perspective?
I think that a new --qemu_args would be generically useful for adhoc
use and light enough that people won't need to add qemu_configs much.
E.g. I can see people wanting multiple NUMA nodes, a specific -cpu, and so on.
