The "wizardry" of the "fetch asset" plugin limits itself to analyzing
test methods and the setUp() method.  This test currently does that in
the "fetch_guest_kernel()" method, which makes it blind to the "fetch
asset" plugin.

If there are other tests doing that (in custom methods), then a
similar change would be desirable.
