I'm not sure about the Git alias thing - but I do agree that tools/testing/selftests is a pretty obscure location given the importance of kernel unit tests - and I think it could be moved one level higher, to tools/selftests? The "selftest" name already implies the "test" aspect after all. Thanks, Ingo
