Or maybe a hybrid approach where series that only (or mostly?) > touch selftests go into a dedicated tree? Some other subsystems do have a separate branch for kselftests. One fairly common occurrence is that the selftests branch ends up failing to build independently because someone adds new ABI together with a selftest but the patches adding the ABI don't end up on the same branch as the tests which try to use them. That is of course resolvable but it's a common friction point.
