RFR(S): 8215975: [testbug] Adapt nsk tests to the PPC, S390 and AIX platforms.

Good point. I'll post a follow up change next year ... and believe me, 
that's not too far in the future ��
I'd like to keep this out of this test fix, as I want to downport it to 
11 at some point and thus keep it small so that it will apply cleanly.

Alloc001 might need it. The other vmTestbase tests are all passing,
so I didn't touch them.
Webrev with alloc001:

Best regards,
  Goetz.
