I run a version of the same tests that are in OSSTest (basically an earlier
version of the Perl code) and I have done it on x86 and on ARM32.

And I also run the standalone OSSTest (on x86)

And then I also do a livepatch using the livepatch-build-tools on x86 to
patch some silly function.

So from a testing perspective these patches have been tested very exhaustively.
