Not yet - for now it just holds the command line flags and anything
parsed from the command line. Ultimately it will hold test state, but
it is early days on that yet.

Well it's not possible ATM anyway since board_init_f() never returns.

Does your method use an expect script to check that the right result
is obtained?

I am not going to get back to sandbox for a few weeks now - my next
task is to get it booting from simulated SPI/MMC and see what tests
can be written against that. It will become clearer then I think.
