paths in the kernel. Tests are intended to be run after building, installing
and booting a kernel.
+Kselftest from mainline can be run on older stable kernels. Running tests
+from mainline offers the best coverage. Several test rings run mainline
+kselftest suite on stable releases. The reason is that when a new test
+gets added to test existing code to regression test a bug, we should be
+able to run that test on an older kernel. Hence, it is important to keep
+code that can still test an older kernel and make sure it skips the test
+gracefully on newer releases.
