How to xfail a libjava test?

Looking at one of the libjava failures on an embedded arm-elf platform for
Array_3.java the compiled test is failing because it fails to take a NULL
pointer exception. The compiled code simply contains instructions that
load from the first page of memory, and since we have no MMU that is
always going to succeed. Is there any way to XFAIL this test? Or should
the java compiler be more defensive when compiling code for this sort of
target, eg by checking all pointers for NULL explicitly?
