As discussed here: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/Z9RRkL1hom48z3Tt@google.com/ This code could benefit from some more commentary. To avoid needing to comment the same thing in multiple places (I guess more of these SKIPs will need to be added over time, for now I am only like 20% of the way through Project Run run_vmtests.sh Successfully), add a dummy "skip tests for this specific reason" function that basically just serves as a hook to hang comments on.
