The config file is bash and it gets sourced, so all bash magic is
doable in there as well. Document it so others don't have to
re-discover this gem as well.

+### Pre-test setups
+
+Some tests, may need special prerequisites, like configfs being
+mounted for NVMe over Fabrics tests. You can add your custom bash
+scriptlets to `config` to get this done, e.g.:
+
+```sh
+if ! test $(grep -q configfs /proc/mounts) ; then
+        mount -t configfs none /sys/kernel/config
+fi
+```
