The runltp script and ltp-pan cannot save and restore a testrun,
although something like that may be possible to implement, I doubt that
it could be easily added to the current infrastructure. Not to mention
that ltp-pan has been in a maintenance mode (which means no new
features) for years now.

Also I do consider the whole concept of running the test exectution
framework on the same machine as the testcases broken by desing for
kernel related tests. The way forward is the patchset send by Richard
that implements simple test executor that runs on the machine under test
and communicates with a execution framework that runs on a central
server.
