Build results:
	total: 136 pass: 136 fail:0
Qemu test results:
	total: 115 pass: 112 fail:3
Failed tests:
	mipsel:24Kf:malta_defconfig:smp:rootfs
	mipsel64:malta_defconfig:nosmp:rootfs
	mipsel64:malta_defconfig:smp:rootfs

The failures are due to newly added tests; the init process crashes.
v3.16 passes those tests, so the problem was introduced later.
I'll run a bisect later to see if I can find the culprit. If not,
I'll drop the new tests from this kernel version.
