Well for the 'sanity-after-timeout' sub test this is what it actually 
intends to do - cause a timeout and see if we are able to run a basic 
workload after this.

As for 'invalidinstr-*-enabled' I also assume this is expected since 
executing an invalid instruction causes an exception and no one 
handles/clears it. But maybe we should? I will pass this one down to 
@Andrzej.

Thanks,
Christoph
