Hm.  Given the current definitions of each group:

long_rw                 long-soak read write IO path exercisers
rw                      read/write IO tests
soak                    long running soak tests of any kind
stress                  fsstress filesystem exerciser

I think these all can apply to generic/476 -- it's definitely a
read-write IO test; it's definitely one that does RW for a long time;
and it uses fsstress.

I have a counterproposal -- what do you think about redefining 'soak' to
mean "all tests where SOAK_DURATION can be used to control the test
runtime directly"?  This shouldn't break anyone's scripts, since the
only members of 'soak' are the ones that get modified by this patchset.
