Hi Matthew:

Thanks for your advice, i finally setup a test platform powered by
jenkins and QEMU emulator version 4.2.1 with two evening. This is
the things that i always wanted to do but didn't do.

I apply this change based on the commit: 4d02da974ea8, and compile
it with x86_64_defconfig:
make bzImage O=/var/lib/jenkins/workspace/linux_kernel_ltp/out/

Then start qemu:
sudo qemu-system-x86_64 \
    -kernel /var/lib/jenkins/workspace/linux_kernel_ltp/out/arch/x86/boot/bzImage \
    -hda /home/ubuntu/myspace/qemu_build/ubuntu.img \
    -hdb /home/ubuntu/myspace/qemu_build/init.img       \
    -append "root=/dev/sda console=ttyS0" \
    -nographic \
    -m 1024 \
    -fsdev local,id=fs1,path=/home/ubuntu/workspace,security_model=none \
    -device virtio-9p-pci,fsdev=fs1,mount_tag=jeff-host-code

Then run the ltp test:
sudo bash /opt/ltp/runltp -f mm

The result is:

The one failure happens without my change, too.(maybe my config is
not correct? I am not sure). 

Last, i think this change have no problem.
And what's your opinions, Matthew.

Thanks.
