Different subsystems have different workflows, but I don't recall having
ever seen markdown used in any mm patches. Can you update the patch
description to not use markdown?

Can you move the version-change descriptions out of the commit summary and
into the patch itself, directly after the ---? We don't want it to be
included in the changelog that eventually gets merged. This is described in
more detail in [0].

Agreed that it's preferable to follow the contours that already exist in
the vm/ tests, but IMO this is pretty confusing and should be fixed for the
whole suite in a follow-on patch. Both ksft_skip and exitcode are exit
codes so this variable name doesn't really make sense.

Sorry, missed this on the first pass, but can we change the name of this
function to fail() to show that we're failing the test rather than killing
the testrun?
