[LTP] [PATCH v2 1/4] lib/tst_test.c: add 'needs_drivers' option with tst_check_drivers cmd

[Alexey Kodanev]

The drivers are checked with modprobe. If modprobe is not available
on the system, the checks are silently skipped.

v2: * moved tst_check_driver() from tst_test.h to tst_kernel.h
    * added the new option description to the doc and comment to tst_kernel.h
    * iterating over the driver list moved out from tst_check_drivers(), the
      function renamed accordingly.

 CRC32c checksum generation is supported by LTP. In order to use it, the
 test should include "tst_checksum.h" header, then can call tst_crc32c().
 
+2.2.26 Checking kernel for the driver support
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Someties test needs certain drivers to be available in the kernel and must
+end with TCONF if any are missing. For this task there is the '.needs_drivers'
+option which accepts NULL-terminated array of the drivers names.
+
+Since it relies on modprobe command, the check will be skipped if the command
+itself is not available on the system.
