[Bug 2062119] Re: autopkgtests fails on ppc64el

[Christian Ehrhardt ]

I'll assign Adrien as the agreement on the MIR was to follow up on
these, but also Frank to sync this with IBM for their input which TBH
could be anything from "here is the fix" to a worse "it will never work
please remove it"

Also there is a sibling of this for s390x in bug 2062118

Title:
  autopkgtests fail on ppc64el

Status in libtracefs package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  As part of the added QA to libtracefs it was found that it triggers issues on ppc64el.
  It is not yet clear if those are just test artifacts or real deeper problems.

  Either way, while in the time pressure of the noble release the
  decision was simplified like "The tests didn't make it worse, just now
  we know" and continued (To not leave these platforms behind later
  unable to add it, albeit knowing it is still incomplete for now).

  It does not mean that we can ignore them for too long and certainly
  need to work on completing that into being fully functional in tests
  and real usage. Hence we create this spin off bug from the MIR work in
  bug 2051925 for tracking the further efforts.

  Example test log:
