Yeah, so nothing from that selftests crud wants to work for me; also I
*really* dislike how vmtest.sh as found there tramples all over my
source dir without asking.

Note that even when eventually supplied with O=builddir (confusingly in
front of it), it doesn't want to work and bails with lots of -ENOSPC
warnings (I double checked, my disks are nowhere near full). (and this
is after installing some horrendous python rst crap because clearly
running a test needs to build documentation :/)

I've spend hours on that, I'm not sinking more time into it. If you want
me to run that crap, fix it first.
