This looks like a good idea to me, makes the usage of report() similar to
the kernel pattern of wrapping an if condition around WARN_ON():

	if (WARN_ON(condition)) {
		do_stuff()
	}

Plus, current users are not affected by the change so I see no reason not
to have the choice.

va_report() has 4 boolean parameters that the callers set. 'kfail' can be
ignored, because all it does is control which variable serves as the
accumulator for the failure.

I was thinking about the 'skip' parameter - report_skip() sets pass = xfail
= false, skip = true. Does it matter that va_report() returns false for
report_skip()? I don't think so (report_skip() returns void), just wanting
to make sure we've considered all the cases.  Sorry if this looks like
nitpicking.

Other than that, the patch looks good to me.

Thanks,
Alex
