Currently some tests report skip for things they expect to fail e.g. when given combination of parameters is known to be unsupported. This is confusing because in an ideal test environment and fully featured kernel no tests should be skipped.

but there's no way to use it from within the harness.

Add a new per-fixture+variant combination list of test cases we expect to fail.
