Anything adding a new category will just not get run by the kselftest
harness until someone adds a wrapper script for them, they'll still get
run if someone invokes run_vmtest.sh with no arguments directly.  As the
changelog says it's not particularly nice, but hopefully people don't
add new categories all that often.
