In Ubuntu, the attached patch was applied to achieve the following:
* kexec_file_load.patch: Skip kexec_file_load test on ppc* before 4.11.
During 4.11 development, the kexec_file_load syscall was wired up on
ppc. The result of this is that if you build strace with 4.11 headers,
but on a runtime kernel << 4.11, the testsuite will fail. This patch
addresses that issue.

As the test is designed *not* to be disabled and there is no confirmation
of any issues with the test, I'm closing this bug report.
If you believe there is a bug to be fixed, please reopen *and* provide
some details.
