From: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: lib/Kconfig.debug: kernel hacking menu: runtime testing: keep tests together Expand the "Runtime testing" menu by including more entries inside it instead of after it. This is just Kconfig symbol movement. This causes the (arch-independent) Runtime tests to be presented (listed) all in one place instead of in multiple places.
