looks like some issue with tracepoints

Skip is fine ;-)

I'd expect that one to fail if we don't have special
code to support arm in there

hum, I thought this was generic code that would work across archs

with these we have always a problem across archs,
it's tricky to make script test that works everywhere :-\

the json/alias test would be also to make sure the x86 still works,
so regardless of some tests failing on arm, I think it's still better
to have that test
