Okay.

Perhaps because at least parts of the IGT "vgem" tests really have
nothing specific for "vgem" and there doesn't seem to be another test
case that does run doing the same thing. And none of the IGT prime
tests run without an Intel driver. Looking at IGT always makes me sad,
and then I move on to other things... </rant>

BTW, are there IGT test results for vgem/vkms somewhere? I didn't have
any luck finding anything.
