That sounds good to me. I guess it was quicker and it generated more
compact diffs to differentiate based on #ifdefs initially, but it
makes sense to unify those binaries into one now, as we don't mind the
size of the selftest executable. run_vmtests takes custom parameters
already, it will just take one more then.

Thanks,
Andrea
