Also, can you confirm that you ran the test on a CPU that has
"facility 86", so that the one-shot digest functions get exercised?

(By the way, I recommend defining named constants somewhere in
arch/s390/ for the different facilities.  I borrowed the
"test_facility(86)" from the existing code, which does not say what 86
means.  After doing some research, it looks like it means MSA12.)
