Here is my second version for enabling the KBUILD_OUTPUT for kselftest.
The first version could be found here[1]. I fix and test all the TARGET
in tools/testing/selftest/Makefile. For ppc, I test through fake target.

There are six patches in these series. And five of them clean up the
existing code. I split the clean up patches into five, hope it is easy
to review.

  selftests: remove duplicated all and clean target
  selftests: remove useless TEST_DIRS
a selftests: add pattern rules
A selftests: remove CROSS_COMPILE in dedicated Makefile
A selftests: add EXTRA_CLEAN for clean target
  selftests: enable O and KBUILD_OUTPUT

  a: ack by Michael. Minor update after rebase.

Bamovar/Michael,

Are these rebased to linux-next? Michael was concerned about
conflicts with powerpc tree. Would rebasing to linux-next help
avoiding conflicts?

Yes. I rebase to latest linux-next. It is taged as 1128 when I rebase
them yesterday. I fix some conflict when rebase.

Hi Bemovar,

These patches don't apply to linux-kselftest next and I can't apply
them now. Looks like there are new tests that came through a netdev
tree already in linux-next. It does happen when a new feature goes
into a tree with the test.

So for now we will have to wait on these and when 4.10-rc1 comes out,
please rebase it on linux-kselftest latest. I will try to get these
into 4.10-rc1 fixes

thanks,
