These fail for various non-default configs like DAX, alwayscow and
small block sizes.

Shouldn't we selectively _notrun these tests for configurations where
speculative/delayed allocations don't work?

I had started on a helper to try to detect the situations where the
tests cannot ever pass, but never quite finished it:

Perhaps turning off speculative delalloc by adding the mount
option "-o allocsize=<1 fsb>" to these tests would result in them
always have the same behaviour?

But it also kinda defeats what they are trying to test?  At least
that's my understanding, but your wrote them, though..

If you get that to fully work it seems like a good idea, yes.

Before we remove these cases from auto group, if above function can help these
test cases to be stable passed as expected. I'm glad to consider it at first :)
