Hrm.. I'm not objecting to this, but one thing I've tried to do with
my test suite is minimize any sort of test-infrastructure
dependencies, so as much as possible, single test files can be plucked
out, built and run by themselves. Not sure if this concern is
something I'm just crazy about or if others see value in this as well.
:)

The kselftest.h calls are simple enough, so  I'll try to integrate the
changes in and see if there's a nice way to keep the test files
functioning externally too.

thanks
