[PATCHSET,0/2] fstests: testing improvements

Message

Hi all,

Here's a couple of patches that improve the test framework itself.  The
first patch adds a -smoketest option that will run the generic file IO
loop tests each for 4 minutes apiece.  The goal here is to provide a
quick means for developers to check that their changes didn't cause
major problems.

The second patch adds kernel gcov coverage reporting if the kernel is
set up to record such information.

If you're going to start using this mess, you probably ought to just
pull from my git trees, which are linked below.

This is an extraordinary way to destroy everything.  Enjoy!
Comments and questions are, as always, welcome.
