Ok, good point. I'll make that change in v2.

I made that change in v2.

In my understanding, calling ksft_test_result_skip() would require
converting the testcase to use the functions that generate TAP output.

Also, returning here isn't actually necessary: from my testing
userfaultfd_stress() doesn't require zeropage support in shmem so if the
only bit missing from uffdio_register.ioctls is the one for
UFFDIO_ZEROPAGE then this error can simply be ignored and the test can
continue. Do you agree?
