I brought up a s390x VM to run the test locally, and there are two 
issues with the latest (2022-05-09) s390x image:

1. It lacks stdbuf. stdbuf is used by 
tools/testing/selftests/bpf/vmtest.sh to run any test, and this is 
clearly broken. Hence two questions:

1.1. How does CI work without stdbuf in the image? I thought it used the 
same vmtest.sh script, is that right?

1.2. Who can add stdbuf to the image (to fix local runs)?

2. It lacks iptables needed by my test, so if I resubmit my series, it 
will fail on the CI again. Who can add iptables to the image?

I also compared the old (2021-03-24) and the new (2022-05-09) s390x 
images, and ethtool was indeed added only after my submission, so that 
explains the current CI error.
