I don't know any way.  But as this just affects zoned devices on btrfs
for now I guess the usual parties can just make sure it works by
backporting the right patches.  The previous don't work wasn't even
a not supported, but a case of dm-error being buggy for zoned devices.

In other words the original exclusion in xfstests should have never
gone in and whoever put it there should have fixed dm-error instead.
