It just hit my travis jobs when I merged up to master:

Shuah can we please get this reverted?
I will take care of this. Supporting all these use-cases has been
maintenance problem. Fixing one use-case breaks another. :(

If all of the above works with kselftest-install target, I would rather
ask for CI's to change, so we can get rid of make -C usage for install.
In which case, I would rather not revert this and request CIs to start
using kselftest-install target.
Okay reverted now and pushed it to linux-kselftest fixes. Will send it
to Linus in a couple of days.
I would like to see CI's use kselftest-* targets from the main makefile
for build/run/install.
The problem is old kernels (stable branches & distro kernels) don't
support that (or it doesn't work correctly).

Let's move there slowly as stables get retired. I would like to see
using kselftest main Makefile files as the supported mode going forward.
This is necessary for us to make it easier to support and maintain the
use-cases.
