This patch should remove 'config STRING_SELFTEST' from lib/Kconfig too.

You mentioned "redundant scripts" here. You might want to refactor
first, and have a common tool that does the core testing, and then
have the scripts doing one line each:

i.e.:

#!/bin/bash
exec./test_module.sh prime_numbers selftest=65536

with "test_module.sh" doing all the rest.

I bet there are other test_*.ko tests we could wire up too, and this
refactor will make that much easier. And actually, maybe we should
just have a single test running that just reads the "config" file for
the list of test modules, and runs them with the correct output format
to show which are skipped, etc.
