I want to note that defining ksft_skip=4 in every test separately is the
current practice. I agree with Willem (in a parallel thread) that this
stuff should live in a library of its own, but there is none currently.
When there is, it looks like the conversion would be mechanical.

Which is to say, IMHO this patch makes sense on its own as an
incremental improvement.
