we just follow doc on http://www.phoronix-test-suite.com/ to run tests in PTS
framework, so you don't need to care about lkp-tests.

and for this fio test, the parameters we used just as:
	test: fio-1.14.1
	option_a: Sequential Write
	option_b: IO_uring
	option_c: Yes
	option_d: Yes
	option_e: 1MB
	option_f: Default Test Directory


and yeah, we most focus on x86_64 and don't support lkp-tests to run on
aarch64...


if you have some idea that we could run other tests, could you let us know?
it will be great pleasure to run more tests to check for us if we can support.

Thanks a lot!
