thanks for the tip to direclty run the tests.

Actually, I simplified this one a little bit. What we do now is:

make -C tools/testing/selftests TARGETS={target} TEST_PROGS={prog} TEST_GEN_PROGS="" run_tests

This let's us run tests individually. This way we can put them in 
a FIFO and have multiple workers run them in parallel.

the script needs lot more than 45
seconds. This does the trick, but not sure how to bump the timeout for a
specific test.  

You can set a test-group-specific timeout touching the 'settings' file
in the relevant directory. Note that for 'net' self-tests the timeout
is currently 3600 seconds (for each test).

AFAIK there is no way to set a single-test-specific timeout, without
running that specific test individually:

make install TARGETS=net
./kselftest_install/run_kselftest.sh -o <timeout in sec> -t net:fcnal-test.sh

Yet another thing run_kselftest.sh can do that make can't :(
We should probably bite the bullet and switch to it at some point.

David, I applied your diff locally, hopefully I did it in time for the
7am Pacific run to have it included :)
