But, would it be okay to add this feature as a vkms' module parameter?

Not sure if this would fit as a unit test, as the vkms composing
code basically outputs a CRC, which can be better verified by
the userspace. The output_buffer and stage_buffer are internal
variables, so it would be difficult to evaluate them with a KUnit
test.

With the IGT test, we can assure that the background composition
is being performed properly using the CRC in a negative test and
also some positive tests.
