Ohh. i've got what your are talking about. We can not add new ops
for tests there seed is passed explicitly. And yes i've braked this, but
this is because such frozen tests was written in not determined
way :). Good determined test should has not just seed opt, but also
explicit set of operations. All others (non determined) tests which use
fsstress may benefit from new ops. So I'll redo my patch queue like this:
1) Add explicit option set for all frozen tests
2) Add new features to fssstress with non zero probability.
