I understand your point here, but I found the commit message to be
misleading.  You're probably referring to this snippet (from
tests/avocado/test_linux-boot-console.py):

   +    def setUp(self):
   +        self.console_path = tempfile.mkstemp()[1]

So I see the following points regarding this patch:

1) Function called is mkstemp(), and not mktemp(), assuming you meant
the one from the pasted snippet above.

2) The commit message should just state that it returns earlier when
architecture is not supported wrt console creation.
