I have posted a patch that will fix the counters oops. So far, I could
not reproduce the icache-hygiene problem, did you use hardware large page
support or software emulation? But I probably noticed a similar one:

map_high_truncate_2 (32):       FAIL    mmap() 1: Cannot allocate memory

That one should be because of the 31-bit address space layout on s390,
as it tries to mmap too much (1.5GB).

I also noticed that task-size-overrun (64) seems to hang up on my system,
I can only continue after ctrl+c, can you verify that?

Thanks,
Gerald
