Investigate the test approach for kmod and add the ptests back if appropriate. The run-ptest script was recently dropped (1) with a comment that the kmod ptest coverage was removed in 2015. Back in 2015, Qi Chen commented that: The ptest part of kmod is removed because new version of kmod port all tests to use modules from module-playground instead of copying prebuilt modules to the repository. So, we cannot use ptest as before. Remove it so that kmod can build successfully. Surely there's a way that we could run these ptests that wouldn't be too much work to maintain. 1) https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-core/message/212650
