Using a TODO has the advantage to allow the tests to run on a periodic
basis, even if they could fail in this unexpected way. We've had our
load of issues in the past proper to specific architectures, so this
could help with the 2PC code paths and SPARC. Not to mention that we
could just let the code be as-is, and it would fix itself once the
kernel is updated. So that sounds much better to me than a skip
phase.
