5-10 minutes is probably right at the edge for auto, but I think
that most people won't be testing this any time soon. Hence I'd
include it by default in the auto group, and if people complain
about the runtime when they start testing it, we can revist that
choice. FWIW, I'd also include it in the metadata group so that it
gets exercised when people run that group....

I had a quick eyeball of the changes, and nothing major stood out.
The only thing I noticed was a missing "wait" in the _cleanup
function of xfs/013 after killing all the fsstress processes. It
should probably using killall -9 as well. If we don't wait, then the
unmount will fail and if the fsstress processes don't die it will
affect every test after that...

I'll probably have more suggestions once I've run the tests ;)

Cheers,

Dave.
