Thanks for pointing out. :-)

I wonder that maybe we need to submit a patch to let xfstest understand
that a filesystem supports extents or not because after applied this
patch indirect-based file in ext4 has supported seek_data/hole and hole
punching. I usually run xfstest automatically, and every time I need
to check the result of #255 and #285 manually. That is annoying for me.
