[LTP] [PATCH] vmcp: skip test on non-s390x architectures

[Cyril Hrubis]

Hi!
> The vmcp test is specific to s390x systems and is not supported on
> other architectures such as ppc64le. Currently, the test fails on
> unsupported platforms.
> 
> Add an architecture check to skip execution on non-s390x systems
> by reporting TCONF, avoiding false test failures.

The test has TST_NEEDS_CMDS="vmcp" it shouldn't even start unless there
is vmcp installed. And would expect that vmcp is not installed unless we
are on s390x.
