This looks pretty good, save for some minor nitpicks below. I also
echo Maíra's comments, though I'm not _too_ worried about having a
little bit of duplication if it means we get a complete (or
nearly-complete) list of arguments here, but still have them described
in the appropriate part of the rest of the documentation.

Cheers,

This is definitely a bit confusing: it seems to describe "how it
works" more than "what is it, and when do you use it". Perhaps
something more like:

"Specifies a .kunitconfig file to use to build and run with a
predefined set of tests and their dependencies. (e.g., to run tests
for a given subsystem). This can be the path to a file, or to a
directory (in which case a file named ".kunitconfig" in said directory
will be used.)"

This example should be ``sparc64-linux-gnu-`` (with the extra
hyphen-minus at the end). It's concatenated to produce, e.g.,
sparc64-linux-gnu-gcc.

Nit: maybe "Specifies _additional_ kernel command-line arguments".
kunit_tool already sets some.

--raw_output=kunit is the default if just --raw_output is set. You
need to specify --raw_output=all for the full kernel output.

Nit: let's remove the first 'it' to be consistent with the previous
entries. i.e., "If set, stores..."
