I do not follow. I am using the kselftest_harness
(tools/testing/selftests/kselftest_harness.h) that does output using the
TAP format. vstate_exec_nolibc is not a test in itself but is a helper.
The Makefile for the vector tests describes this as:

TEST_GEN_PROGS := v_initval vstate_prctl

If you run the riscv collection of tests with:

$ ./run_kselftest.sh --collection riscv

You will see that the only vector test cases are v_initval and
vstate_prctl, which both output as expected in TAP format.

I do see that I messed up the return type of the is_vector_supported()
function, I had meant to change that to a bool from an int since
RISCV_HWPROBE_EXT_ZVE32X is greater than 32 bits. I will send a new
version.
