I believe it's in the thread.  But in short, we then stop running the
other filesystem tests as they get skipped.

No, it's on you to provide a solution that runs in both CI and developer
machines.  It's not sudo or make-virt-fs, it's get the try/catch logic
correct in the test framework such that if we can't run sudo we do run
make-virt-fs, and if we're able to run the tests somehow, we run the
tests somehow.
