From: Michel Normand <normand@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Subject: skip random failing tests
Date: Thu, 18 Jan 2018 15:48:52 +0100

skip random failing tests:
in _test_multiprocessing.py:
    test_async_timeout
    test_waitfor_timeout
    test_wait_integer
in test_events.py:
    test_run_until_complete
    test_signal_handling_args
    test_call_later

Reported to fail on ppc64le host on multiple osc build trials:
(all failed for ppc64le, except one for ppc)
