I'm thinking that it is something relatively simple like this:

fstests/tests/hooks
- directory containing library of hook scripts

I'd suggest fstests/common/hooks instead, since the hook scripts
aren't actually *tests* per so, but rather utility scripts, and common
would be a better place for it, I think.

fstests/hooks/
- directory containing symlinks to hook scripts

This might be a good default, but it might be better if the location
of the hook directory could be overridden via an environment variable.
In some cases, instead of having run-time configuration inside the
fstests directtory with .gitignore, it might be more convenient for it
if were made available externally (for example, via a 9p file system
in a case where tests are being run via KVM using a rootfs test image
with qmeu's snapshot mode so the hook directory could be supplied from
the host).
