Makes sense ... as this is platform-specific (ifdef'd) code: should I
try to (by refactoring) make the s390 code testable on other platforms
or do you think it's sufficient to have make check execute the test
case on the target platform only, e.g. during RPM build.
Either way: the checks for DMI-based sysinfo and PPC would have to be
provided by the respective authors...
