There's already a 'dedupe' group in xfstests for testing the out-of-band ioctl
that duperemove uses.  I wondered if that factored into your decision to use
'dedup' as the group name for the inband tests.

Seeing as other filesystems are beginning to support the OOB ioctls and might
never support the in-band stuff btrfs is doing, what do people think about
keeping the out-of and in-band dedup tests in separate groups to make it clear
which dedupe feature each test is aiming to validate?

There's no technical requirement to do this since we can always add feature
tests if the inband tests ever become generic, but I do see value in being able
to test one interface without having the tests for the other interface piling
on the output (and being able to tell which interface at a glance).
