Yes. As the patch description says it "will do most of the work",
but it doesn't do all of it. Indeed, supporting full paths for
$RESULT_DIR is actually necessary for other reasons, such as
supporting completely external result destinations. To that end, I
have a patch in my current series that does the rest of the
conversion with the appropriate setup changes:

xfstests: RESULTS_DIR needs to be an absolute path

Some tests 'cd <somedir>' and then direct output to $RESULT_DIR,
which fails if the current working directory is not $here.
Regardless, if an external results directory is to be used it needs
to have a full path specified and the use of $here as the base of
the results files is completely incorrect.

Hence change all the $here/$seqres* references to simply be
$seqres*, and instead encode the full path to the results in
$RESULT_DIR.
