Thanks for the patch, Luis!  It would be awesome to also have unique
names for each testcase, but I realize this is a much more difficult
task :-).

Just a heads up for everyone: when this patch series is pushed, we are
probably going to see a lot of known XFAILs return on the BuildBot
reports.  This is due to the way we identify the XFAILs, using their
whole name in a case-sensitive manner.

The new XFAILs will be detected during the weekend, when the racy tests
run.

Thanks,
