Here is my first version for enabling the KBUILD_OUTPUT for kselftest.
I fix and test all the TARGET in tools/testing/selftest/Makefile. For
ppc, I test through fake target.

The last patch introduces the KBUILD_OUTPUT and O for kselftest instead
using the existing kbuild system because user may compile kselftest
directly (make -C tools/testing/selftests).

I am planning to get this into 4.10.

Michael!

Are okay with me taking powerpc tests through kselftest tree?
If so could you please give me Ack.

I already have quite a lot of selftests queued for 4.10, so this will
conflict badly with those I suspect.

Let me know how bad it is, maybe we can wait on these until 4.11

If you put this series in a topic branch that we can both merge then
that will probably be OK.

Once you are done with reviews, we can make a call on whether to merge
them now or later.

I'd like to review the series first too, will try and get that done
today.

cheers

Okay sounds good.

thanks,
