Please elaborate.

Quoting from README.overlay:

To enable running unionmount testsuite, clone the git repository from:
  https://github.com/amir73il/unionmount-testsuite.git
under the xfstests src directory, or set the environment variable
UNIONMOUNT_TESTSUITE to the local path where the repository was cloned.

Is that what you are referring to by "way too much effort to be usable"?

To be clear, I too am in favor of keeping unionmount testsuite in separate
repo and keeping idmapped-mounts inside xfstests.

Just puzzled about your comment.

Thanks,
Amir.
