You can't just move them wholesale into benchmarks/ without weaning them
off libigt, they were not even supposed to be linked against libigt.la.
libigt was expressly developed with the purpose of making writing tests
easier and that gets in the way of the benchmarks. That is not to say
the core ioctl wrappers are not useful, it's just all the logging and
subtest framework built above them that has all too often caused
explosions and get in the way.

Say no to igt_subtest, but welcome a new igt_perf. And ezbench
integration.
