I took a look at the flail testsuite, and found it's very useful. The
problem with the other suite, fsfuzzer, is that it generates a
prohibitive amount of output in most modes of operation. Besides I was
able to trigger some bugs in the Fedora kernel using it.

This is definitely going into the client side tests, see commit:

Later I'll check whether we should put it into kvm autotest.
