This patch adds the ability to compile and install the kernel selftests into the target at /usr/lib/kselftests. The rationale behind /usr/lib is that the selftests have subdirectories where they are installed which makes them unsuitable to be placed in /usr/sbin as this would result in /usr/sbin/kselftests/x/y/z. While the selftests aren't libraries either, they don't achieve much as a standalone binary so they can be considered to be a 'library of tests' making /usr/lib sensible. The selftests require that the kernel headers be installed into the kernel build tree as some of the selftests have a hardcoded CFLAGS to include kernel headers (CFLAGS += -I../../../../usr/include/). This is most easily achieved by using the make ... headers_install inside the kernel build dir. This is likely to be a rarely used debugging/performance feature for development and unlikely to be used in a production configuration.
