commit message could be improved, but that's a detail.
I'd put commit message as:

You copy pasted definitions from lib/tst_res.c. It's quite a lot of code to be
duplicated. Could you please move these definitions from include/tst_common.h
into lib/tst_res.c in separate commit?

Also when you generate new version with git format-patch, please use -v2
(as a second version). Also feel free to Cc me with
--cc 'Petr Vorel <pvorel@suse.cz>'

I'd really rather remove TAINT_ (that's our LTP string, IMHO not needed)
as I suggested previously. And put space after the letter. i.e.:
		STRPAIR(TST_TAINT_A, "A (ACPI table overridden)")

Kind regards,
Petr
