As far as I understand this, you are trying to avoid a fact, that older
kernels are not comforming to the POSIX specification. This is a case
where the test is failing for a good reason, all we could do here is
print message like:

"this test is known to fail on linux kernel < 2.6.22"

Before the test reports failure.


On the other end I do not object to adding test for file locks with
SA_RESTART. But you should not remove the sem_lock() test (as it's not
broken).
