Sorry for the delay in this update.

Changes from v1:
* Improve the skip message along with the changelog massage (Suah Khan).
* Simplify the feature support check (Suah Khan).

=== Cover Letter ===

A couple of test updates are included:

* With the STRICT_SIGALTSTACK_SIZE option [1,2], the kernel's altstack
  check becomes stringent. The x86 sigaltstack test is ignorant about this.
  Adjust the test now. This check was established [3] to ensure every AMX
  task's altstack is sufficient (regardless of that option) [4].

* The AMX test wrongly fails on non-AMX machines. Fix the code to skip the
  test instead.

The series is available in this repository:
