What's ext4 specific about this test apart from the mkfs parameter?
Shouldn't it be generic and so test all the filesystems behave the
same?  i.e. when someone then runs

# MKFS_OPTIONS="-b size=1k -O ^extents" ./check -g auto

That will exercise this specific regression fix, not to mention give
much, much better test coverage of that configuration than just
making a single test use that config...

Cheers,

Dave.
