Sorry, as Guenter pointed out, a number of the failures were caused by
a cleanup patch which removed CONFIG_EXT3_FS without fixing the
defconfigs. This resulted in test failures because the root file
system needed an ext3-compatible file system, and with the backwards
compatibility Kconfig lines removed, it meant that the defconfig test
kernel wouldn't be able to mount the rootfs.

I have a fixup patch in the ext4 tree, for which I can send a pull
request shortly.
