The above were accepted.

This one I had a question on - see my email.

These two I also had questions on.  In principle I like the approach
of getting rid of patches against the LTP source.
But please see my email.

I added all these, and will push to my 'master' branch shortly.

I do have a few questions about whether putting some of these skips
into a spec file, that could be customized per board, would be better.

I think I need to play around with it for a while to see if I like this style
of runtime determination of skiplist.

Putting the skiplist in the list of files you can see from the interface is good.
Otherwise users might have a hard time figuring out what a test isn't showing
a status result for a particular run.

Thanks very much.
