I suspect this may be caused by the test assuming that stack growth is
downward, but I don't really understand the test well enough to be sure.
I'll disable this set of tests for m68k going forward, so I am not going
to report the problem again in the future.

On m68k, the stack does grow downward.

Sorry, I meant to say upward, but apparently I was wrong.

Maybe because m68k only has 2 byte alignment for 32 bit items.
That causes grief in many places.
Although kmalloc() returning a larger alignment would fix some
of them without using much more memory?
