Actually I'm wondering if we can bring in a parameter to clarify that xfstests need to
build uplying fs base on a underlying fs, don't depend on the "[ -b "$TEST_DEV" ] ||
[ -c "$TEST_DEV" ] || [ "$FSTYP" == tmpfs ]" things. Due to:
1) overlayfs might not only base on localfs, it can over NFS or something likes it. (right?)
   If so, how many judgements we need to add at here?
2) If xfstests can help overlayfs, that means it can help to build other fs (e.g. nfs, cifs,
   ceph, etc) from an underlying fs in one day.

So how about bring in a parameter, maybe USE_UNDERLYING_FS=yes/no(default), or use "BASE_FSTYP"
directly, e.g.
export USE_UNDERLYING_FS=yes
export FSTYP=tmpfs
....
if [ "USE_UNDERLYING_FS" = "yes" ];then build uplying fs from $FSTYP

Or:
export BASE_FSTYP=xfs (BASE_FSTYP=$FSTYP if BASE_FSTYP is empty)
export FSTYP=overlay
export TEST_DEV=/dev/sdb1
export TEST_DIR=/mnt/test
export BASE_MOUNT_OPTIONS=...
export MOUNT_OPTIONS=...
...
if [ "$BASE_FSTYP" != "$FSTYP" ];then build $FSTYP from $BASE_FSTYP

The 2nd method might be complex, and will affect current code logic much. The 1st one is
simple. This idea just flashed my mind, I haven't thought too much. If others feel this
idea is good too, I can try to implement.

Thanks,
Zorro
