mec> Can you make more of the test names more unique?
ac> Oops, I thought I'd covered that.  Try the attached.

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.
