Actually, I am no longer sure this was a good idea. Having the libfuse test suite detect problems that with the kernel doesn't seem to helpful.. I think the testsuite should identify problems in libfuse.  Currently, having the tests means that users might be hesitant to update to the newer libfuse because of the failing test - when in fact there is nothing wrong with libfuse at all.

I assume the test will start failing on some future kernel (which is why it passed CL), and then start passing again for some kernel after that?

Best,
-Nikolaus
