TBH I wish we'd call them scratchdev and testdev, e.g.

_xfs_repair_scratchdev
_xfs_repair_testdev

So that it's plainly obvious that we're talking about a device and not
the verbs scratch or test.  I guess you could also argue that we're
really repairing a filesystem on the device and that it should be
_xfs_repair_testfs...
