I have access to only IBM hardwares like the i386, x86_64, ppc, ppc64,
ia64 & s390x only.

Unfortunately, none of them can be accessed from outside IBM network
without proper authentication, and off course without being a valid user
of the system.

I do not mind running tests on your behalf. Infact it will give me
opportunity to access to more no. of tests buckets, which i can infact
add to LTP later. So, whenever you have such tests to run, i will take
time to do it for you.
