Thanks for doing this Marc! 

I'm wondering about the need to delineate between what is needed to load
and use the cxl-test or nfit-test modules as opposed to what is required to
run all the unit tests.

I believe my environment, and yours, and most other folks using these
environments are doing so in a VM so it's no big deal to load up all the
things.

Maybe just a gentle separator in the list showing required and optional.
I would NOT go so far as to pick apart which ones are needed for which
test because that is a slippery slope. If a user is in test running mode
they need all the things.
