Oh, we used to set it around pageflips. Good point about drmMaster.
That's worth a igt_require(igt_set_master()) to document the requirement
that we need it here for SECURE dispatch.

I'm actually a bit concerned that DERRMR isn't ~0u by default. (Though
maybe they only assert the bits that are connected to events).

Yeah, each request will be generating a new lite-restore. Hmm, how about
if we guarded that with i915_gem_request_started(). Interesting...

We can just use the poll((struct pfd){fd, POLLIN}, 1, -1). Instead of
"exporting the out_fence" read "having exported the out_fence", i.e. the
sync_file currently forces use of the interrupt (so long as it is not
already completed!).
