Dear maintainer,

Since the build daemons have been upgraded to kernel 6.6, fio FTBFS with
SIGILL in the testsuite. It is because the rdcycle instruction has been
changed to a privileged instruction starting with this kernel version.

A fix is available in the upstream repository [1]. Would it be possible
to include it in the next upload?

Thanks
Aurelien
