That seems like a bad idea. Perhaps you can wrap it in #ifdef
__KERNEL_OR_SELFTESTS__? I can't find any prior art.

Yeah. I've dropped this patch and sprinkled a bunch of
'#ifdef __KERNEL__' instead. We can revisit this later,
or hack the test to temporarily define __KERNEL__, which
is just as bad...
