    load/unload KVM modules several times.

    - based on previous 'build' test: in case KVM modules were installed by a
      'build' test, we used the modules installed by the previous test.

    - based on own params: if no previous 'build' test was run,
      we assume a pre-installed KVM module. Some parameters that
      work for the 'build' can be used, then, such as 'extra_modules'.
