Re: [PATCH 06/14] Extend the test suite for TSX and add some new tests to test elision

I need to test the internal code paths that enable/disable.

No it needs some fixes, because it tests some undefined (in POSIX)
behaviour that changes with elision.

I'll split the test suite into just basic fixes, and tst-elision* 
into a separate patch in the series after the enable interfaces.
