behavior would be well-specified so the patch changed that quite some time ago.

Backporting this to older LTS kernels isn't difficult. We just need custom patches for the LTS kernels but they should all be very simple.

Alternatively, you can just ignore the test on older kernels.

Well, what the custom patch to look like wasn't obvious to me, but that's because I'm not sufficiently familiar with the id mapping code.

So I'll just ignore the test on older kernels. If someone wants to create the custom patch, I'll revert the versioned exclude for {kvm,gce}-xfsteests.

Thanks,
