We do have tst_module_load().

The check for the module existence should be done by adding:

	"CONFIG_NET_SCH_INGRESS",
	"CONFIG_NET_CLS_MATCHALL",
	"CONFIG_NET_ACT_PEDIT",

to the needs_kconfigs.

And then adding module mappings to tst_kconfig.c

 };


With that the checks will be done in the test library even before the
test is started.

We may also add a flag to tst_test structure to load the modules mapped
to the config variables, something as .kconfig_load.
