I looked through the list, and honestly the ones we had enabled in
bionic look fairly arbitrary. For example TEST_LKM doesn't look very
useful (if module loading doesn't work I doubt we'd get any system
booted far enough to run the test), and others that might actually be
useful regression tests aren't enabled. So my preference would be that
we only enable those that we actually need right now, i.e. TEST_BPF, and
enable others if/when we integrate them into our regression testing.
