Ah ah, funny that the default RTE_MAX_LCORE for x86 is 128, and then I did
not see the test failing.
Then ok for this fix.

How about the followup patch:

-       TEST_RCU_QSBR_RETURN_IF_ERROR((sz != 8384 && sz != 16768),
-               "Get Memsize for 128 threads");
+       TEST_RCU_QSBR_RETURN_IF_ERROR(
+#if RTE_CACHE_LINE_SIZE == 64
+                       sz != 8384
+#elif RTE_CACHE_LINE_SIZE == 128
+                       sz != 16768
+#endif
+               , "Get Memsize for 128 threads");
