Amit has already posted a v2 with the requested changes, but I wanted
to get back to you on this even if this patch is outdated ... Shuah,
what is your preference for things like this?  My general policy is
that patches only affecting one subsystem tree should be taken by the
associated subsystem to minimize merge headaches and other ugliness,
however, the kselftest is an interesting subsystem in that it relies
so heavily on others that I'm not sure my policy makes as much sense
here :)
