I don't think so. The set of addresses that can be successfully passed to
clone() and the actual space the stack will occupy with the given parameters
are
definitely part of the interface (because the user cannot use the interface
correctly without knowing these), therefore testing them is useful, and they
should be quite easily testable, although the test would be
architecture-dependent, but oh well, so is the whole clone() syscall.
