OK, suppose we xfail it for all targets except the ones you've already verified?
We still get the other targets tested and it will either show as a XFAIL or a 
XPASS (if we are that lucky).  No FAILs will be added and, with the *known problem*
comment added we can check it in as a start point for some improvements on this area.

Sounds reasonable?  

P.S.: I believe there is still one maintainer that have not answered regarding to one
of the bug fixes in your patch.  You should wait to check at least these fixes in with
it.  Maybe ping the maintainer directly in case he missed the posting thinking it was
only a testsuite patch and not related to the specific target.
