While the above lines may look like a new code that introduced a new module 
parameter at a first glance, please note that's a chunk of the existing code, 
only moved out of #if IS_BUILTIN(CONFIG_KUNIT) section below.
Having that clarified, do you mean adding a new module parameter that 
effectively replicates the function of the existing built-in only action=list 
parameter but is available also for modular kunit?  Or do you mean replacing 
the existing action=list parameter completely with the new one?  If the latter 
then that would mean a change to the existing ABI, and I'd rather not add it 
to the scope of this change as not required.

Thanks,
Janusz
