Damn ;)

Can't we just turn ksft_min_kernel_version() into

	static inline int ksft_min_kernel_version(unsigned int min_major,
						  unsigned int min_minor)
	{
	#ifdef NOLIBC
		return -1;
	#else
		unsigned int major, minor;
		struct utsname info;

		if (uname(&info) || sscanf(info.release, "%u.%u.", &major, &minor) != 2)
		       ksft_exit_fail_msg("Can't parse kernel version\n");

		return major > min_major || (major == min_major && minor >= min_minor);
	#endif
	}

?

Not sure what should check_timer_distribution() do in this case, to me
ksft_test_result_fail() is fine.
