test_region fails on powerpc

[ghost]

The following assert found in smmap/test/test_util.py fails on a powerpc64 system running linux and python 2.7.9:

assert rhalfofs.includes_ofs(rofs) and not rhalfofs.includes_ofs(0)

This test probably fails on other non-x86 platforms. And I am not sure it is really meaningful since it is highly dependent on the underlying OS and platform.

As this issue only appears in the test-suite, I guess it would be safe to just exclude the said line for power-pc architectures as well, similar to how it's done with win32.
Unfortunately I don't really know how to identify such a platform, as I am lacking the hardware. Maybe you can cookup a PR or let me know the values of sys.platform and os.name ?

Sorry, I don't have access to real hardware either. I found the problem when updating the package on opensuse and I patched out the test as a workaround.

This assert does not really test the correctness of smmap but the implementation of mmap on the platform. So I suggest to remove it from the test-suite.

Thank you, I will do that.
