I'll modify this in some later patches, but I prefer the #ifdef inside
the function so that all tests are visible on all
architectures/configurations. And it should not panic on a test failure,
it should continue (see the others) with something like:

	pr_err("FAIL: did not double fault!\n");

E.g. an external system monitor would see the double-fault and the panic as
both causing a system reboot, but only the double-fault should do that.

And then ifdefs aren't needed here either.
