Not currently. I have toyed with series that make integrate the building
of external test suites into the source tree. There are a number that it
would be useful to have a short "make" away including:

  kvm-unit-tests
  LTP
  diy7 (memory model testing)
  sbsa-ref tools

and I guess the semihosting testd would be another good example.
