Description matoro archtester

So, all 32-bit has an XPASS for tests/dd/no-allocate.sh, ref bug 928486

Additionally, it looks like there is a test which reads the live utmp file.  This seems very fragile to me as it means test results are no longer reproducible and depend upon the login history of the host, you can see my actual login entries present in the test output.  This failure triggers on hppa and arm but not ppc for me, but given the nature of the test I don't think that's necessarily indicative of anything.

    sys-apps/coreutils: properly skip dd no-allocate test
    
    It XPASSes sometimes but it's really unreliable under sandbox (even
    segfaults under sandbox when I looked at it last).
