I looked closer and I don't understand why the key is not there.
Both 5.19 kernel should always put this argument out, and 5.15
iproute2 should always interpret it.

Am I looking wrong? Do you see how we can get a dump with no flavor?

I worry that this is some endianness problem, and we just misreport
stuff on big-endian.

If it's just a matter of kernel/iproute2 version we shouldn't need to
check here again?

Looks good, so..

I don't think we need the test_ran tracking any more?
