Some other subsystems do have a separate branch for kselftests.  One
fairly common occurrence is that the selftests branch ends up failing to
build independently because someone adds new ABI together with a
selftest but the patches adding the ABI don't end up on the same branch
as the tests which try to use them.  That is of course resolvable but
it's a common friction point.
