Even with Marteen's change the drrs tests take
570 * ~0.185s = ~100s to skip.

Also I think you've meant:
+igt at kms_frontbuffer_tracking@.*drrs.*
instead of:
+igt at kms_frontbuffer_tracking@.*drrs*

I am fine with getting the change in, for now.

Do you know when/if we will get drrs systems? What to do then?

Cheers,
Arek
