Can you please make these changes directly to xfstests rather than
keeping information about what tests run under what circumstances in
some external test wrapper?  i.e. this can be implementing by adding
a _requires_no_data_journal() check and adding it to each test.

That way every one who runs xfstests on ext4 benefit from this
exclusion, rather than just kvm-xfstests users.

Cheers,

Dave.
