This breaks libaio tests (on POWER9 hash PowerVM):
https://pagure.io/libaio/blob/master/f/harness/cases/5.t#_43

cases/5.p
expect   512: (w), res =   512 [Success]
expect   512: (r), res =   512 [Success]
expect   512: (r), res =   512 [Success]
expect   512: (w), res =   512 [Success]
expect   512: (w), res =   512 [Success]
expect   -14: (r), res =   -14 [Bad address]
expect   512: (r), res =   512 [Success]
expect   512: (w), res =   512 [Success]
test cases/5.t completed PASSED.

expect   -14: (w), res =   512 [Success] -- FAILED
test cases/5.t completed FAILED.

Can you have a look if that test assumption is OK?

Thanks
