Maybe you'll change of mind if you try to make sense of why the proc
has, since its inception, added vfp options to enable sqrt on arm,
regardless of whether vfp is available with the processor being tested,
and realize this is not different from the case of powerpc.

It's skipping the test, as the change you propose, that reduces testing
surface, when testing only a configuration that ends up skipping it.
Now, if you're testing multiple combinations, skipping or running does
*not* change the test surface.

So rejecting Eric's patch makes for a no-op in one case, and a reduction
in another.

Whereas installing it makes for a no-op in one case, and an increase in
another.  Please explain how you came to the conclusion that this
amounts to reducing hte test surface.  Something appears to be amiss in
that reasoning.

If your patch also deals with the ICE that appears with the options
named in PR99372, great.
