Is there a way to force the tests to run for real? There really needs
to be this so you can test (for example) a distro kernel with
backported patches for the bugs in question.
Although it's further proliferating the number of test results, I'd
also suggest making this say something other than just FAIL, as a hint
that the tests aren't actually running, just assuming a result from
the kernel version. "FAIL (assumed)" maybe?
