Explain how to run the KUnit tests present in the DRM subsystem and
clarify why the UML-only options were not added to the configuration
file present in drivers/gpu/drm/.kunitconfig [1] [2].

Unit testing
============
KUnit
-----
KUnit (Kernel unit testing framework) provides a common framework for unit tests
within the Linux kernel.
This section covers the specifics for the DRM subsystem. For general information
about KUnit, please refer to Documentation/dev-tools/kunit/start.rst.
How to run the tests?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In order to facilitate running the test suite, a configuration file is present
in ``drivers/gpu/drm/tests/.kunitconfig``. It can be used by ``kunit.py`` as
follows:
.. code-block:: bash
$ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --kunitconfig=drivers/gpu/drm/tests \
--kconfig_add CONFIG_VIRTIO_UML=y \
--kconfig_add CONFIG_UML_PCI_OVER_VIRTIO=y
.. note::
The configuration included in ``.kunitconfig`` should be as generic as
possible.
``CONFIG_VIRTIO_UML`` and ``CONFIG_UML_PCI_OVER_VIRTIO`` are not
included in it because they are only required for User Mode Linux.
