Anything with DRIVER_ANY in it should work. I just noticed that we have a
few generic tests with only DRIVER_INTEL|DRIVER_AMDGPU, those should be
DRIVER_ANY.

I think the best way to get there is to integrate vkms into our CI (I
think that's something we can justify, we'll benefit from the better
overall testsuite ecosystem too), then we'd get test results for every
commit&patch. And would have at least some way to make sure the DRIVER_ANY
tests are somewhat reasonable. Quick discussion with Martin and Arek on
irc says this is doable.
