The new function _casenotrun() is to be invoked if a test case cannot
be run for some reason. The user will be notified by a message passed
to the function.

Oh, I assume this is a sub-test granularity; if we need to skip
individual items.

I'm good with this, but we should CC Cleber Rosa, who has struggled
against this in the past, too.

seems fine to me otherwise.

The discussion I was involved in was not that much about skipping
tests per se, but about how to determine if a test should be skipped
or not.  At that time, we proposed an integration with the build
system, but the downside (and the reason for not pushing it forward)
was the requirement to run the iotest outside of a build tree.

Yeah, this also LGTM.

Thank you very much for your reviews. Please note that the function 
_casenotrun() works as a notifier only as it was done for the Python 
based iotests. It is a caller responsibility to skip running a 
particular test with all relevant logic. I will supply the comment in v6 
and will keep your 'Reviewed-by' if there are no objections ))
