Why not just add them to the kernel tree, with ksft_test_result_skip() being the result for now while they still fail, and then when the kernel code is fixed up, change that back to the correct ksft_test_result_error() call instead? "SKIP" is a good thing to take advantage of here. thanks, greg k-h
