Yep, I realised that later too. :) The kernel handles interrupts
differently between architectures & the contents of the procfs files
differs as a result.

I think you can leave the test pretty much as is, if you use the
create-a-local-procfs-root-via-environment variable trick - just
create a tarball (see below qa/linux) and unpack it at the start
of the test & use the env var to point pmda_linux.so away from
the /proc of the running kernel to your new /tmp/qa-$seq-procfs.

It's possible, but unlikely I'll have time before I head away for some
end of year vacation time.
cheers.
