Which should be fine because s390 is doing that in all breakpoint related tests.
But more important thing to suggest .is_supported field is, this patch has a
regression on x86:

Before:
  $ sudo ./perf test 22
  22: Watchpoint                                            :
  22.1: Read Only Watchpoint                                : Skip
  22.2: Write Only Watchpoint                               : Ok
  22.3: Read / Write Watchpoint                             : Ok
  22.4: Modify Watchpoint                                   : Ok

After:
  $ git apply 1.patch
  $ make
  $ sudo ./perf test 22
  22: Watchpoint                                            :
  22.1: Read Only Watchpoint                                : Skip
  22.2: Write Only Watchpoint                               : Skip
  22.3: Read / Write Watchpoint                             : Skip
  22.4: Modify Watchpoint                                   : Skip

Intel hw does not support read only watchpoitns. If you use skip_if_fail=true,
all subsequent testcases are skipped as well.

Thanks,
