I cannot give a good opinion because I'm not a creator of these test
programs, but ...
I think that the difference of test refusal reason isn't so important.
How about following message? :
------------
Not support Hugepages or not enough available Hugepages
------------

If users read above message, they will examine a reason by themselves
and will do appropriate measures (set an enough hugepages value or
gave up this test), I think.
