I can change it, but IMHO for creating /opt/ltp is needed to run it as root
for a first time. Or one must chmod/chown /opt/ltp under root.

If I'm correct this is likely the only change. Can you add your RBT and I modify
before merge?
And I see Andrea already removed '-U ltp' kirk usage.
Anyway, I can wait little longer, but I got already quite a lot of ack to merge
whole patchset.
Kind regards,
