OOM testcases will work fine. ioctl_sg01 is a CVE test checking for
kernel information disclosure bug so it just needs the kernel to reuse
some dirty block of memory for the device buffer that then gets copied
to userspace.

Maybe I should improve the test by dirtying some kernel memory myself in
the test setup...
