Why does kselftest need a "skip list"?  Shouldn't all of the tests that
ship in the kernel tree, pass on that release?  Is anyone looking into
the failures?  That seems like a pretty obvious thing :(

And was anyone testing the -rc releases to catch this before 4.15 came
out?  If not, why not?  I thought you all were testing rc releases
now...

Anyway, thanks for the reports.

thanks,
