Yep, that works. Should any new log attributes come along as a test
dependency, something like the following would be required:
_requires_xfs_sysfs log/logattr
So _requires_xfs_sysfs can basically just test for the existence of the
parameter under the xfs/<dev> path for TEST_DEV. I'll go with that.
