lowest 'skipped' value is actually 4, for 3.14.

'skipped' means that a configuration does not apply for this kernel version.
As I am adding more recent configurations, the number of 'skipped' builds
gets larger for older kernels. Similar, as configurations are dropped
from newer kernels, the number gets larger for newer kernels as well.

I'll see if I can change the output and not display the 'skipped' value
in the final summary; it doesn't really provide value and just creates
confusion.
