A test program from the rr[0] test suite, vm_readv_writev[1], no
longer works on 5.10-rc1 when compiled as a 32 bit binary and executed
on a 64 bit kernel. The first process_vm_readv call (on line 35) now
fails with EFAULT. I have bisected this to

It should be fairly straightforward to extract the test case from our
repository into a standalone program.
Can you check with this applied?
