I prefer install, that's what it is after all. I don't know why you're so
obsessed with the "kselftest" name.

That's not a good idea. To start with different tests might the same name, as
already happens with the memory & cpu hot-plug tests. They may also have data
files that would clobber each other. We'd need to make sure all files used in
all tests have different names, that would be a total mess.
