I think that should mostly mean that all the tests that don't
individually produce KTAP output get ignored by parsers and those which
do produce KTAP output will be seen as nesting one level up from where
they are (ie, the individual cases will run directly from vmtest),
though there's likely to be confusion about expected run numbers for
things that actually pay attention to that.

It'll run, the results are a different story. :P
