The general expectations for network HW selftests is that they will be run as root. sudo doesn't seem to work on NIPA VMs. While it's probably something solvable in the setup I think we should remove the sudos. devmem is the only networking test using sudo.

I suspect this breaks my test setup, but I can probably figure out how to run our tests as sudo. I can't argue with consistency with the rest of the tests which don't sudo anyway :D
