I think we don't need to create a special branch and all. The following
should work:

linux-next already has the skip work. What we can do is:

Do the cleanup and test it against linux-next. In linux-next SKIP isn't PASS. If test is
compiled on linux-next, you will see that SKIP is SKIP. If it is compiled on the mainline,
it will be reported PASS, which will be a temporary state.

cgroup test will end up in linux-next anyway with crgoups tree before the merge window.
We can verify it then and make sure it is working correctly.

So I would recommend a version 3 that includes the cleanup to get rid if the TEST_* local
defines.
