I don't think so. The set of addresses that can be successfully passed to clone() and the actual space the stack will occupy with the given parameters are definitely part of the interface (because the user cannot use the interface correctly without knowing these), therefore testing them is useful, and they should be quite easily testable, although the test would be architecture-dependent, but oh well, so is the whole clone() syscall.
