How about?:

Sets make's CROSS_COMPILE variable; it should be set to a toolchain path
prefix (the prefix of gcc and other tools in your toolchain, for example
`sparc64-linux-gnu-` if you have the sparc toolchain installed on your
system, or `$HOME/toolchains/microblaze/gcc-9.2.0-nolibc/microblaze-linux/bin/microblaze-linux-`
if you have downloaded the microblaze toolchain from the 0-day website
to a directory in your home directory called `toolchains`).

Good to note. I was not sure about the multiline strings, part of me
thought they were an improvement. Part of me thought they were horribly
ugly.

Yeah, I went back and forth on it. Part of me thinks it is nice to have
all your configs in one place. The other part of me agrees with what you
said here. I think I will stick with the way I am doing it now for no
other reason than that's the way I already have it. If someone feels
strongly though, I would be happy to change it.

Good to know, I will incorporate it into the next revision.

That's where I am at with it. I feel as though I have added enough
parsers to the kernel tree. :-)

This raises an excellent point, what should we do with the --arch flag
if we add the --qemu_config flag?

The only reason I just added --qemu_config without touching the existing
configs was just because I was being lazy; nevertheless, my original
plan was just to drop --arch entirely and just expect the user to know
that to run KUnit on i386 you need:

tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --qemu_config=./tools/testing/kunit/qemu_configs/i386.py

and to run KUnit on arm you need:

tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --qemu_config=./tools/testing/kunit/qemu_configs/arm.py --cross_compile=arm-linux-gnueabihf-

(or something like that).

Is that OK, or as you hint, should we do some file system magic so that
you have the option of

tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --qemu_config=./tools/testing/kunit/qemu_configs/i386.py

OR

tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --arch=i386

?

My preference is for the former since it is more explicit about what it
is doing.
