Also .needs_cgroup_ver, .needs_cgroup_nsdelegate

IMHO both can be interesting - you can list tests you loose if you don't use
root or you don't have kernel with loop device configured.

Also there are more: .caps, .hugepages, .needs_hugetlbfs, .min_mem_avail,
.min_swap_avail, .dev_min_size, .needs_abi_bits, .needs_overlay (at least).

Why not to show all the info like it was previously? We never know what the
reader will be interested in.

If we are really not interested at all, I would just avoid few LTP true
internals, e.g.: .needs_checkpoints, .forks_child, .child_needs_reinit.

Kind regards,
Petr
