Right (at least based on my knowledge), we have to parse '/proc/cmdline'
and detect the key parameters for determining where the test goes next.

(i.e. init_module01: PASS without that parameter 'module.sig_enforce=1',
FAIL as expected with having it)

Thanks for the info, I guess we need a more generic function for wide use
in the lib, I prefer to name it tst_parse_kcmdline() simply but maybe extend
something if necessary.
