As far as I can tell this is not needed on x86 machines so maybe we
should do something as:

...

#else
# if !defined(__x86_64__) && !defined(__i386__)
	tst_brkm(TCONF, cleanup,
		"compiler doesn't have __builtin___clear_cache()");
# endif
#endif


So that the test is not disabled on older x86 machines.


Otherwise it looks good to me.
