The current series have several improvements which are beneficial in
several ways. I think these improvements should be included. While
conforming for TAP following improvements have been made:

*[PATCH 1/4] check_initial_reg_state*
Removes manual counting of pass and fail tests
Increase readability and maintainability of tests
Print logs in standard format (without [RUN], [OK] tags)

*[PATCH 2/4] corrupt_xstate_header*
Correct the skip, pass and fail return codes. Otherwise the test always
return 0
Returns correct number of stats about passed/failed tests
Print logs in standard format

*[PATCH 3/4] fsgsbase_restore*
Add test skip support instead of returning success at skip time for the
kselftest script to understand correct exit status
Print details about errno if error occurs
Increase readability and maintainability
Print logs in standard format

*[PATCH 4/4 entry_from_vm86*
Remove manual pass/fail tests counting
Increase readability
Print details about errno if error occurs
Print logs in standard format


These improvements aren't evident from the description of patches as I
thought converting to TAP achieves all this by default. But I can improve
the patches description and send patch revision. Thoughts?
