Hmm, I intend for that to hold. In any case, for the existing extension we have committed to it, e.g.
the documentation says:

Absolute accesses are permitted for the VM ioctl if KVM_CAP_S390_MEM_OP_EXTENSION
is > 0.

So, if we introduce an extension and allow for it to be removed with a higher extension number,
when we add testing support for that extension we'd have to change the capability check,
but the existing test case would not break.

I guess the most flexible way would be to initialize the array in the middle of main, then
you could do .skip = !extension_cap and in the future whatever expression makes sense, but
it's kinda ugly and should not be necessary anyway.
