Thanks, applied.

In the future, it would be great at least cc patches to
linux-ext4@vger.kernel.org, since I rely on patchwork to make sure
patches don't end up falling through the cracks.

If we start getting a huge number of patches to xfstests-bld, and
people start getting confused/annoyed about how xfstests-bld issues
get discussed on linux-ext4@vger.kernel.org, while xfstests patches
and discussion happen on xfs@oss.sgi.com, we could consider creating a
new mailing list --- especially given that based on a challenge which
Greg K-H gave us at the kernel pannel at Collab Summit, we'll at least
be looking at cleaning up and then trying to get into the linux kernel
mainline sources some combination of xfstests plus some infrastructure
automation (perhaps strongly based on what I've been working here in
the xfstests-bld tree) to run xfstests.

Cheers,
