This patch adds an init_rc() call to _begin_fstests() in common/preamble 
and hence the above _test_mount() will be executed during that call. So 
this _test_mount isn't necessary here, right? _test_mount() will be 
executed (as a part of init_rc() call) before every test run. Please let 
me know if my understanding isn't correct.

Same reason as above.

Okay. I think Dave has suggested removing this file[1]. This doesn't 
seem to used anymore.
