Just a question, patch 3 is missing in patchwork. I guess it is too
big.

My understanding is that this performs the json tests if nft comes with
json support.

I wanted to give this a run, description says a few tests are failing.
Last time we talked it is chain binding support, then there is a good
number of tests that are going to fail (or there is a mechanism to
temporarily disable json tests for this without losing coverage?).

What is the current output from tests? I wanted to make this run
myself so I don't need to ask.

I am asking all this because I am finishing backports for older stable
kernels while this is also going on.
