Actually, I simplified this one a little bit. What we do now is:

make -C tools/testing/selftests TARGETS={target} TEST_PROGS={prog} TEST_GEN_PROGS="" run_tests

This let's us run tests individually. This way we can put them in 
a FIFO and have multiple workers run them in parallel.

Yet another thing run_kselftest.sh can do that make can't :(
We should probably bite the bullet and switch to it at some point.

David, I applied your diff locally, hopefully I did it in time for the
7am Pacific run to have it included :)
