No, the unwind unittests that exist today should stay written as unit tests.  
These are testing the conversion of native unwind formats -- for instance, 
eh_frame, compact unwind, or instruction analysis -- into the intermediate 
UnwindPlan representation in lldb.  They are runtime invariant, unit tests are 
the best approach to these.  If there were anything to say about these, it 
would be that we need more testing here - armv7 (AArch32) into UnwindPlan is 
not tested.  eh_frame and compact_unwind into UnwindPlan is not tested.

The part of unwind that is difficult to test is the runtime unwind behavior, 
and FileCheck style tests don't make that easier in any way.  We need a live 
register context, stack memory, symbols and UnwindPlans to test this correctly 
-- we either need a full ProcessMock with SymbolVendorMock etc, or we need 
corefiles, or we need tests with hand-written assembly code.

I'm leaning towards starting to write C test cases with hand written assembly 
routines that set up their stacks in unusual ways to test the unwinder, I've 
written unwind testsuites in the past in this way and it works well but it does 
mean that you need to be on the arch (and possibly even the OS) that the test 
is written in -- bots will show the failures for everyone after a commit goes 
in, at least.  But these will be written as SB API tests.
