It works for me.
All the test names are unique except for "rerun to main".
Stil the same four FAILs but that's okay because they really are FAILs.

I approve this patch.

ac> Are there [get_kernel_info] and [get_software_singlestep] testsuite calls?

I don't know of any.

I'm a bit leery of "get_kernel_info", because we should be testing
for features rather than version numbers (the whole autoconf philosophy).
Although get_compiler_info has worked reasonably well for the job
that it does.

I'm more inclined to dump a bunch of KFAIL's into the gdb_test_multiple
arms for the bad results, along with comments about which kernel versions
have been observed to have which behavior. Then in 3-5 years it's not
hard to sort out the obsolete crap.

If KFAIL's are too hard then just the comments for starters.
