I've reverted the patch on the branch now.

To alleviate the test case timeout problem, I've committed the
following test-suite only patch that converts the timeouts
into simple test case failures.  This makes the testsuite
usable again ...

Tested on ppc(64)-linux.  Committed to mainline and branch.
