I guess that doing:

	if (!tst_is_compat_mode())
		tst_res(TINFO, "The vunerability was only present in 32-bit compat mode");


Is a sensible approach. It does not hurt to run the test either way but
it makes it clear that the original CVE it's not going to be reproduced
without 32-bit compat mode.
