Some tests not run: not suitable for this OS: Linux

Some tests not run: not suitable for this OS: Linux

[David Sterba]

Hi,

I've noticed in the log:

generic/093 -- not suitable for this OS: Linux
generic/097 -- not suitable for this OS: Linux
generic/099 -- not suitable for this OS: Linux

all with "_supported_os IRIX", so I wonder if the tests should be
removed or at least reviewed if they make sense to enable for linux.
They test xattrs, acl or capabilities.

Yes, there's a plan to remove IRIX support and associated tests & files
& code. Eric Biggers is kind enough that he has sent out such a
patchset[1] to do so. And Darrick asked to make the xattr and acl
tests compatible with Linux instead of simply removing them. v2 is not
out yet, but it's not a high priority task, I think we can wait :)

Thanks,
Eryu
