Take too long on your system.. Would work with bigger timeout.

This one is missing a patch that'll go upstream today, and it's testing
for it and hence failing.

The buf-ring failure with the patch from my previous message is because
it manually tries to set up a ring with an address that won't work. The
test case itself never uses the ring, it's just a basic
register/unregister test. So would just need updating if that patch goes
in to pass on hppa, there's nothing inherently wrong here.

Those happened because we filled the buffers on the user side, but the
kernel side didn't see them due to the aliasing issue. Which means that
ring provided buffers now work.
