Bug Description

As part of the added QA to libtracefs it was found that it triggers issues on ppc64el.
It is not yet clear if those are just test artifacts or real deeper problems.

Either way, while in the time pressure of the noble release the decision was simplified like "The tests didn't make it worse, just now we know" and continued (To not leave these platforms behind later unable to add it, albeit knowing it is still incomplete for now).

It does not mean that we can ignore them for too long and certainly need to work on completing that into being fully functional in tests and real usage. Hence we create this spin off bug from the MIR work in bug 2051925 for tracking the further efforts.

Example test log:

I'll assign Adrien as the agreement on the MIR was to follow up on these, but also Frank to sync this with IBM for their input which TBH could be anything from "here is the fix" to a worse "it will never work please remove it"

Also there is a sibling of this for s390x in bug 2062118
