It's an issue with the upstream tests. Short of seeing if new versions of SQLite, etc, that are available that fully support POWER8, there isn't much that can be done from my side as it's simply using the upstream tests. You can see http://www.phoronix.com/vr.php?view=21061 for some tests that are POWER8 compatible.
