I'm sorry it completely skipped my mind that we're in freeze and I 
pushed the affinity inheritance tests without checking with you first; 
hopefully that's not a problem since they're only test additions and not 
a code change.  The tests break on s390x, which I'm trying to isolate 
right now and will look to resolve asap.
