Side note: Even with these changes, nothing can currently eat
blacklist.txt as is. Sitting tightly in my TODO is to implement the
final piece of the pipeline that CI uses piglit for with igt_runner,
scripts/run-tests.sh -l, with something that can process
blacklist.txt. These changes are the first step towards that, thanks
for doing this.

In other words, this doesn't implement what I guess you're trying to
do but it's needed, so
