Great, then OK from my side. With adding the symlink:
Reviewed-by: Petr Vorel <pvorel@suse.cz>
(please send v2).

I'm for replacing runltp-ng with kirk before the release.
I guess Cyril will highlight it in the changelog and then we should replace all
files in the runltp-ng repo with simple README.md, which points to kirk git
repo.

I'd still recommend to implement the default framework functionality (kselftest
and liburing would benefit from it), but that can be added later.

Kind regards,
Petr
