Yeah, it was working, though with my ARM farm still being in pieces, I
haven't been able to keep on top of it lately. Apparently the patch to
disable the ancilliary tools fixes the build, so I'll get that pushed
when I can actually test it, or for the meantime:

This does still require libpciaccess and libdrm-intel to be built, but
they _are_ totally possible to build on ARM, without any stupid hacks.
My first cut at getting igt running on ARM (before Micah took over)
actually started by eviscerating those as well, but it ended up being
too much of a yak-shave.

If you can get past those, you get a skip for all but the core tests.
For the rest, they either need porting to just use dumb-buffers, or
split such that the bits exercising Intel-specific tiling modes can be
run separately, or left as Intel only.

Cheers,
Daniel
