I still disagree with using xfstests for this.  Even if we were going
to treat the block devices nodes as yet another file system that's not
what the patches do - they create specific virtual devices to test
for each test.

I think the right way is to keep your patches as-is and copy the few
bits you use from xfstests into a new repository.
