The number of testcases over the past year had increased faster than could
be properly debugged by our skeleton team for the s390x platform.  Many of
the testcases seemed to be designed for features on later kernel versions
with were not yet fully integrated by our supported distributions.

Since we mostly used LTP for a quick regression test, I was discussing with
Subrata about creating a minimal test set that we expected would run
properly on a majority of the distributions with kernel 2.6 and not just
the more recent versions of the kernel.

This is my first pass at the test set:
(See attached file: s390x_ltpcore_targets)

It is basically a subset of the default SCENFILES from the
ltp-full-20090731 concatenated into one file.

Basic rundown of the contents ...
* Included tests:
syscalls
fs
fsx
dio
mm
ipc
sched
math
nptl
pty
containers
fs_bind
filecaps
fcntl-locktests
-----
* Excluded tests - new in 2009 (maybe late 2008) versions (appear to have
build, run, or support issues depending on distribution release)
io
cap_bounds
connectors
admin_tools
timers
power_management_tests
numa
hugetlb
commands
hyperthreading
-----
* Excluded from original set:
controllers
- notes: this feature was currently available only on SLES-11 and the build
and execution of the testcase appeared to need more work for s390x
-----

Ideally I was hoping to come up with a set of tests that were so basic,
they should be supported by practically every release and would be expected
to run correctly everywhere.   They would only fail if major issues had
been introduced into the system build.
