OK. Just pointing your attention to the fact that the test generic/520
is a result of public discussion of how crash consistency tests should
be aggregated into xfstests tests.

I must say that I like the result in generic/520 much better than I like
generic/311, because of its readability - it is easier to see which test
cases are covered.
