I rarely use the Makefile under test/ because I'm running these tests
mostly as ./ci, but yes, I was thinking about that as well.
On the other hand, mbuto needs a kernel version to figure out where the
kernel modules are, whereas the tests need a kernel binary, and I
didn't really have good ideas to take both into account without
introducing two variables in the Makefile which looks a bit clunky.
