At least s390x is weird since it should only test the plain CPU variant ...

I'll add 'needs-some-thrusted-big-iron' to the Restrictions in order to 
no longer interfere with the CI infrastructure, while still being able 
to run the tests manually (yes, that takes awfully long, seems to be 
exponential in the version number).

I'll try to investigate test behavior again once we have current CUDA 
(12.1.1 last time I checked) and thrust (2.1.x) in sid, in case I ever 
manage to catch up with these moving targets ;-)
