That's what 'make distcheck' verifies, too. Seems the (huge) sysfs test tree is not packaged into the tarball. So they work only in the git tree today. These tests need to run as root (for mknod()), and are ignore if 'make check' is called as non-root, that's why it's not fatal or visible in the usual case or during make distcheck.
