If your problem is to pass the test even if you don't test the
feature, please change the ftracetest itself instead of replacing
unresolved with unsupported. Those notice different situation.

unresolved - Testcase can not find some tools or helper drivers
             which are required for this testcase.

unsupported - Kernel does not have tested feature because of
              the version or the configuration.

Obviously the unresolved is a test environment issue. No test-module
doesn't mean no feature to be tested.
Could you tell me the reason why you can't install those required
tools and modules on the test environment?

Thank you,
