+From 46edf01cc98db9f9feec984897836dfdd26bdc8d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
+From: Jussi Kukkonen <jussi.kukkonen@intel.com>
+Date: Wed, 12 Aug 2015 23:27:27 +0300
+Subject: [PATCH] Add target to only build tests (not run them)
+
+Not sending upstream as this is only a start of a solution to
+installable tests: It's useful for us already as is.
+
+Upstream-Status: Inappropriate [not a complete solution]
