You should probably also try running the shutdown tests, and
eventually, run all of the auto group.  I've added a fast_commit group
to {kvm,gce}-xfstests, although to use it a modified e2fsprogs which
understands the fast_commit feature.  I can make kvm-xfstests and
gce-xfstests image using an e2fsprogs package from debian/experimental
which has fast_commit enabled.

When I tried running all of the auto group tests, the following
failure was found in generic/047 (which is a shutdown group test).
