most of bpf tests require root access as well.

'make kselftest' doesn't work for me at all, since I suspect it assumes in-source build. I always use KBUILD_OUTPUT, since I build multiple archs with different configs out of the same source tree, so there is a bigger problem here.
$ make kselftest make[1]: Entering directory `/data/users/ast/net-next/bld_x64' make: Entering an unknown directory make: *** tools/testing/selftests: No such file or directory. Stop. make: Leaving an unknown directory make[1]: *** [kselftest] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/data/users/ast/net-next/bld_x64' make: *** [sub-make] Error 2
