Static testlist generation can be done and it breaks when run on a
kernel without selftests enabled.

make distcheck fails when running on a kernel without selftests
enabled. It's frankly surprising that CI has been able to build IGT at
all.

I don't know what you mean by "just from the source"? With this series
the subtest enumeration is done "from the source", which wasn't
possible before. It doesn't change behaviour from before when run with
selftests enabled. It makes other machinery work again, the ones that
expect subtest enumeration to work regardless of the runtime
environment. Changing _that_ rule with the kselftest runners is the
one change that is without justification.
