There is a discussion about improving the usability of kselftest by
creating test-specific kconfig in recent kernel Summit. Furthormore,
there are different approaches to do it:
1) keep test-specific kconfig fragments inside each selftest so that
merge_configs.sh could build up a kernel that can test the specific
or all feature(s).
2) In the main menu, have an additional option/flag for each feature
that should be enabled when ksefltests are wanted. Similar to the
CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST flag.
Patch 1/2: do option 1. Hope it is a good start for discussion.
Patch 2/2: add config option(kselftest-mergeconfig) in make file as a
helper to merge all the test config dependecies to .config.
Changes since v1[1]:
1. Add kselftest-mergeconfig in scripts/kconfig/Makefile according
to the suggestion from Michael.
