What happened

The official source reports this update: ciflow/xpu/4629: Address review: spell out both backend requirements in skip reason. Review noted "For CUDA, SM89+ is required. For ROCm, MI300/MI350 is required." The predicate already encodes exactly that: is_sm_at_least_89() short-circuits on torch.version.cuda and is_MI300()/is_MI350() short-circuit on torch.version.hip, so only one arm can be true for a given build. Only the message was ambiguous, so make both backend requirements explicit.

Why it matters
