Michael's series also has a bunch of features this pull doesn't.
I had started implementing some of these features myself before realizing
this stuff was in limbo. (Especially the ability to install to a
different directory: our use case involves packaging up the latest
selftests for use to be run against a long-term stable kernel).

What needs to happen to unblock this, given that nothing has been
merged so far.

Working on selftests is sort of frustrating with all this stuff pending
given the potential conflicts.
