igt is a bit awkward to work in (the mailing list is very noisy with the
Intel CI being email-based instead of gitlab-based and most of the
traffic being Intel), but it's the right place to be putting shared
tests and hopefully that pain point goes away eventually using gitlab
MRs.

I think there are going to be some interesting questions on how to deal
with things like KMS properties that aren't amenable to
chamelium/writeback-based testing.  However, we should default to
requiring tests and only skip that when we agree collectively that
something isn't testable currently.
