There is a discussion about improving the usability of kselftest by
creating test-specific kconfig in recent kernel Summit.

Patch 1 keep test-specific kconfig fragments inside each selftest so
that merge_configs.sh could build up a kernel that can test the
specific or all feature(s).

Patch 2 add config option(kselftest-mergeconfig) in make file as a
helper to merge all the test config dependecies to .config.

Changes since v2:
1.  Fix the misuse of objtree and srctree in the
    kselftest-mergeconfig target.

Changes since v1:
1.  Add kselftest-mergeconfig in scripts/kconfig/Makefile according
    to the suggestion from Michael.

Sorry I only just noticed you put it in scripts/kconfig/Makefile. I meant for
it to go in Makefile, alongside the other kselftest targets.

Do you mean "tools/testing/selftest/Makefile"? I try to do it but I could not
get the objtree and srctree if it is called directly(objtree and srctree is
defined in toplevel Makefile)

No I meant Makefile, the very top level Makefile.

There is already a kselftest target in there (line 1077), I meant we would add
a kselftest-mergeconfig target in there.
