I can understand your point, but the "capability set" of the kernel is still
the same. In this case we should have UFFDIO_CONTINUE capability for
hugetlb_shared test globally, as long as the kernel supports it, irrelevant of
what test case we're going to have.
Then in the test, if we don't register with MINOR mode, IMHO we should just
mask out the expected_ioctls with UFFDIO_CONTINUE because it does not make
sense to request UFFDIO_CONTINUE if we will never use it in the test.
In other words, having a "uffd_features" global variable and having it changing
all the time during tests is odd to me, but I agree it's not a big deal. :)
