I looked a bit at those syscall failures, and I'm not sure what is going
on. Note that the syscall/nd_syscall test cases pass completely on RHEL7
aarch64. I did see one easy fix - you were getting registration errors
for the sched_[gs]etaffinity syscalls. Commit 619425f makes them fully
optional.

I'd need access to that machine to debug the other syscall failures further.
