As I pointed in v1 even tst_res(TWARN) might be too aggressive as it makes all
tests exit with 4 (=> non-zero) due TWARN.

tst_res(TINFO, "WARNING: ...") would not do that and still warn users.

But since we at SUSE are probably the users of the oldest kernels we don't have
to worry that much. (+ I know it's already merged.)

Kind regards,
Petr
