Since this is fixed by 96d016108640bc2b7fb0ee800737f80923847294, which
is already upstream, you might want to rebase and re-test. It should
pass and then you can remove the outstanding issues :-)

program

When I posted the patch I mentioned above, I was asked to move the test
code into the powerpc kernel selftests so you may want to do this too.

Also, your test program covers everything mine did and more so you might
want to remove mine if you do add this to the selftests.

You should include sys/wait.h for waitpid().

status, i and flags are all unused.

I get a compiler warning for these printfs: they should be "%lx".

Same as above, I get warnings and they should be "%lx".
