I see it fails with:

test_synproxy:FAIL:ethtool -K tmp0 tx off unexpected error: 32512 (errno 2)

errno 2 is ENOENT, probably the ethtool binary is missing from the s390x 
image? When reviewing v6, you said you added ethtool to the CI image. 
Maybe it was added to x86_64 only? Could you add it to s390x?
