Comment (by alpmestan):

 I went ahead and took action for _all_ the unexpected passes and failures.
 See
 [https://github.com/alpmestan/ghc/commit/40d6393aca7742f6c26d93b3c3361cced08d55b3
 this commit] in my GHC fork on github. I'm just going to ask for Simon
 PJ's input on 2-3 tests and will then proceed by pushing a diff on
 phabricator. I can then look into the stats failures if we so desire.
