I think it's fine. It's a bit annoying to have these tests show
failures, but at the same time this is pretty much a "debug option for
an odd architecture".

It's not like anybody is seriously using PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING on
sparc64 and being held up by this, and as you say, we'll get it fixed
soon enough.

That said, in general I'd just like known testing issues to be fixed
sooner rather than later, just so that the _testing_ is easier (and so
that it doesn't end up accumulating).

And I appreciate Guenter testing the odd cases that generally
otherwise would fall between the cracks.
