Um.... how long do you expect "make alltests" to run?

And how do you deal with tests that require specific hardware?

For ext4, just doing a light smoke test takes about 30 minutes.  For
me to run the full set of tests using multiple file system
configurations, it takes about 12 to 16 hours.  And that's just for
one file system.  (I do the tests using KVM, with a 90 megabyte
compressed root file system, and 55 gigabytes worth of scratch
partitions.)
