Hi Darrick:

Yeah, me too.  I initially thought that string would not match 'nan', but
then discovered bracket expressions after having not used sed in a very long
time.  It's a sloppy match - it'll recognize fan0 as well as 'inf' or 'nan',
etc. - and I guess the idea is that's good enough for filtering expected output
from xfs_io while being concise.  The sed documentation suggests that a '-' on
the beginning or end of the bracket expression will be treated literally, and
not as a metacharacter (part of a range), so we should be good there.

Thanks very much for your review!
