So there seemed to be two separate issues, a bunch of packages have
tests that depend on vsockets and maybe some other Linux features which
seem to be enabled for the x86_64 Linux, but not for aarch64:

 - go-github-com-mdlayher-socket
 - go-github-com-mdlayher-netlink
 - go-github-com-mdlayher-genetlink
 - go-github-com-mdlayher-ethtool
 - go-github-com-mdlayher-wifi

Then one package again with some tests that seem to be quite Linux
feature dependent:

 - go-github-com-hodgesds-perf-utils

I'm struggling with the Linux config, some files suggest the vsockets
should be enabled, but they don't seem to be, anyway, adding them via
extra-options seemed to work, so I've pushed that as
7fc9cbd3e48d3afbafaa9326b9a6ecf6fdca9032.

As for go-github-com-hodgesds-perf-utils, I've disabled the two failing
tests on arm and pushed that as c8f537ac0517f45393c8bf68fc0259f185324cc5
(#76652).

I'm pulling and testing these changes on the bordeaux HoneyComb
machines, so hopefully this'll be resolved shortly.
