While testing, I got curious, as a 'perf test' user, why one of the
tests had the "Skip" result:

[root@seventh ~]# perf test watchpoint
22: Watchpoint                                            :
22.1: Read Only Watchpoint                                : Skip
22.2: Write Only Watchpoint                               : Ok
22.3: Read / Write Watchpoint                             : Ok
22.4: Modify Watchpoint                                   : Ok
[root@seventh ~]#

I tried with 'perf test -v watchpoint' but that didn't help, perhaps you
could add some message after the "Skip" telling why it skipped that
test? I.e. hardware doesn't have that capability, kernel driver not yet
supporting that, something else?
