				   Maybe we should just remove the
				   "known to fail" from these messages.
Since the code in the library will print:
---
You _MAY_ be hit by known kernel failures:
ustat() is known to fail with EINVAL on Btrfs
---
so the 'known to fail' part is redundant here.
What about:
---
You _MAY_ be hit by known kernel failures:
ustat() fails with EINVAL on Btrfs
---
Other than this I think that this is a good way how to put these kind of
hints into the testcases.
Also I do wonder if there is a good URL that would contain more verbose
description of the problem but I guess there isn't. Well maybe this one:
https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-btrfs@vger.kernel.org/msg95697.html
Not sure how to encode that, maybe just add it to the test top level
comment?
