Please don't directly include the unexported kernel headers.

Are you building userspace code here? I'm not sure why you need KBUILD_MODNAME.

Those look the same as the implicit rules to me, so I don't think you need to
spell them out.

This should be giving you a warning about redefining run_tests.

It sounds like you don't actually need to pass --tap, so you don't need to
override run_tests.

So you should just define:

TEST_PROGS := kmsg-test

Before you include lib.mk and then both the run and emit rules will work
without any more work on your part.
