What's the purpose of shared/ ? We have tests that make sense for a
subset of supported filesystems in generic/, with proper _required and
other the checks it works fine.

I see that v1 did the move to generic/ but then the 'shared' got
suggested, which is IMHO the wrong direction. I remember some distant
past discussions about shared/ and what to put there. Right now there
are 3 remaining tests which I think is a good opportunity to make it 0.
