My suggestion was to co-site with existing "is i915" code in 
drm_open_driver and drm_open_driver_render. But igt_require_gem also 
sounds okay.

I didn't understand the bit about the complementary getter.

I'd just make it a pointer, both size and explicit static initialization 
to zero are not needed.

Do we care about old kernels? I thought for IGT we did not.
