This is the documented way of reporting a skip in KTAP:

   https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/dev-tools/ktap.rst#n97

TBH I'm finding it really hard to summon much enthusiasm for changing
this except as part of some other incompatible update - the current
format isn't ideal but deploying a change would be a bunch of hassle for
the existing test automation systems.
