[Intel-gfx] [PATCH intel-gpu-tools 1/3] drmtest: Add non-i915 device open helpers

[Micah Fedke]

Daniel,

Thanks.

I'm working to implement the driver name param and drm_require_driver 
now.  The prime stuff I'll have to familiarize myself with a bit more 
(and maybe dredge up some hw) but your suggestions sound reasonable enough.
