Daniel Stone claimed that this Just Works but evidently it doesn't.
There's some autoconfig fail where igt wants too much intel crap that just
doesn't build on arm. Iirc Daniel had some patches floating around for
that.

Wrt building tests itself I think we should require libdrm_$vendor
everywhere, since without that you can embedded a vendor specific testcase
into a shared one (e.g. to test tiled pageflipping). And if that's not
possible then either we'll end up in #ifdef hell or code sharing is really
hard, rendering a shared testsuite pretty useless.

Wrt commit access I'm ok with that, atm rule for igt is to send to
intel-gfx and push after 24h of no complaints. For purely vc4-specific
stuff we should probably create a vc4 subdir.

Wrt tests failing: I sometimes run the entire suite here on a radeon, and
at least in the past that resulted in a perfect 100% skip score. So should
work, too.

Cheers, Daniel
