I did it just be creating a library of shell functions that I call
from test bodies. For example, something like this
function require_module() {
kldstat $1 || atf_skip "Module $1 is not loaded"
}
But that's not useful for C and C++ tests. And it would be way cooler
if it were more tightly integrated into Kyua. Would it be possible to
load site-specific Lua code that would handle this sort of
functionality, so the test could simply say "atf_set require.modules
aio"?
