I think 0xdeadbeefUL would also fix this test failure.
I'd even extended this test to
const unsigned long addr = (unsigned long) 0xfacefeeddeadbeefULL;
const unsigned long len = (unsigned long) 0xcafef00dbadc0dedULL;
long rc = syscall(__NR_mlock2, addr, len, -1UL);
printf("mlock2(%#lx, %lu, MLOCK_ONFAULT|0xfffffffe)"
" = %ld %s (%m)\n", addr, len, rc, errno2name());
