Sorry I was being stupid here - the test didn't exist at this commit

So yeah hard to say whether this was broken on PowerPC all along. How
hard is it for me to get set up to reproduce the failure? Is there a
rootfs I can download, and some instructions for running a PowerPC
QEMU VM? If so if you can also share your config and I'll take a look.

If it's not as simple as that, I'll stare at the code for a while and
see if anything jumps out.
