From: Dominik Brodowski linux@dominikbrodowski.net
commit 2cbc0d66de0480449c75636f55697c7ff3af61fc upstream.
On 64-bit builds, we should not rely on "int $0x80" working (it only does if CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION=y is enabled).
Without this patch, the move test may succeed, but the "int $0x80" causes a segfault, resulting in a false negative output of this self-test.
