Yes, not the default for openrisc defconfig.  It might make sense to either skip
the tests of have them as expected fails when CONFIG_NAMESPACES is off.

On the otherhand, I am not sure if the self tests know about the CONFIG_*
available.  I notice many test directories have a 'config' file and a readme
saying, for these test to run ensure use have at least 'these' config values
set.
