Thanks for fixing this and merging the change.

Following our discussion on IRC which I probably didn't understand
precisely enough but maybe have a better understanding now after having
it reread, how about still addressing the "headless" requirement for
better precision with the following hunk?

@@ -373,10 +372,12 @@ stable_nop_on_ring(int fd, uint32_t handle,
 	while (reps--) {
 		unsigned long count;
 		double time;
 
 		time = nop_on_ring(fd, handle, e, timeout, &count);
+		igt_skip_on_f(count < 1000 * timeout,
+			      "submicrosecond precision of time measurement\n");
 		igt_stats_push_float(&s, time / count);
 	}
 
 	n = igt_stats_get_median(&s);
 	igt_stats_fini(&s);

Thanks,
Janusz
