Running it on a machine which does not have AMX results in:

 amx_64: [FAIL]	xstate cpuid: invalid tile data size/offset: 0/0: Success

It's not a failure, really. Selftests are supposed to run on all
machines and the proper thing to do if a hardware feature is not
available is to SKIP the test and return 0.
