Many tests require specific hardware features/configurations that a typical machine might not have. As a result, it's common to see a test is skipped. But it is tedious to find out why a test is skipped when all it gives is the file location of the skip macro. Convert SKIP_IF() to SKIP_IF_MSG(), with appropriate descriptions of why the test is being skipped. This gives a general idea of why a test is skipped, which can be looked into further if it doesn't make sense.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
