Yeah, i915 driver core section sounds like the right place. Btw there's a
small blog post from me with some tips for how to go about this:

i-g-t is the i915 kernel driver regression test suite. For a quick intro
see:

http://blog.ffwll.ch/2013/08/recent-drmi915-testsuite-improvements.html

The igt repo is at

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/app/intel-gpu-tools/

The README file in there also has some good information.

Cheers, Daniel
