Likewise you only annotate with xfail_on_* the testcases that you want
to xfail. The FAIL_TO_XFAIL ought to only be set for that one subcase
and then revert to its former value. (That's the intention anyway.)

I don't follow. The test has two legs, one creates a VRF and attaches
p2, the other creates a bridge and attaches p2. Whether p1 and p2 are
veth or HW seems orthogonal to whether $rcv_if_name is a bridge or a
veth.
