shmt09 test in LTP fails for Feisty herd 3 on T1000

[Marc Tardif]

The shmt09 test part of the LTP suite fails for Feisty herd 3 on T1000. This test works on i386 and amd64.

Reproduction steps:
1. Install the ltp-kernel-test package.
2. Run /usr/lib/debian-test/tests/linux/testcases/bin/shmt09

Expected result:
shmt09 1 PASS: sbrk, sbrk, shmget, shmat
shmt09 1 PASS: sbrk, shmat
shmt09 1 PASS: sbrk, shmat
shmt09 1 PASS: sbrk

Actual result:
shmat1: Invalid argument

Even more info, it's most likely sparc specific (doesn't appear on ppc64).
