Thanks a lot Greg . .yea it helps a lot . I will bot a micro vm with
the kernel under test and run the test inside . I was looking for
build time test for Kernel. Arjan told me is not usual now I can
realize he is right :)

Thanks a lot

You run the scripts when you "build" them, but you are running the tests
on the kernel that is currently running on the system.  There are
patches outstanding to run the tests on a remote system, making
build/test cycles easier, but I don't they are all fully merged yet.

Hope this helps,
