That is does not build the kernel is IMO a good thing - as one may re-run the test while doing work on the kernel, and triggering a rebuild to re-run the test is not nice. The changelog + help text needs to be updated to reflect that the kernel is not built when you use "make kselftest". On top of this - can you please tell what plans exists to extend this. When we discussed "devtest" it was said that it would not be a wrapper for selftests run_tests only, but more was planned to be added.
