Note that upstream fstests does *not* have support for ntfs3 at the
moment.  I have some admittedly very hacky patches in my personal fork
of xfstests on github, but they use a mix of userspace tools that are
specific for other ntfs file system drivers, since last I checked,
Paragon software has not made open source file system utilities for
ntfs3 available.

The support of ntfs3 in {kvm,gce}-xfstests was experimental in nature
when I was trying to make an assessment about whether ntfs3 was ready
for prime time.  So don't mind applying these patches, but I'm
currently no longer regularly running ntfs3 test runs, and I'm very
much aware that the current ntfs3 support that I had added a while
back into xfstests is definitely not polished or ready for the fstests
maintainer to consider accepting.

Cheers,
