If so, you might want to consider that

http://www.tuxera.com/community/posix-test-suite/

probably already covers some of the tests that "btrfstest" is
(re)writing.  i.e.:

+/* Creating Link on non-existing prefix path should return ENOTDIR

and

+/* Creating link on ENAMETOOLONG if either file name exceeds maximum characters

are almost certainly covered in the above posix test suite.

FWIW, that testsuite has a few failures on btrfs (not all unique to btrfs, IIRC):
