Without this series, having the selftests in a .testlist with piglit results in

 KeyError: 'igt at drv_selftest@mock_sanitycheck'

et al.

"But we can fix piglit to ignore that error!"

Sure, and that's on the way, but we're not there yet.

Then when we add testlist checking to IGT to notify developers that
the test they removed/renamed was in a testlist file and the testlist
should be edited, we also hardcode drm_mm, drv_selftest and
$whatever-is-in-future to not be checked?

When generating documentation, we ignore that the docs for drm_mm and
drv_selftest generate different documents depending on where they are
built?

We also hardcode igt_command_line.sh to ignore errors with drm_mm and
drv_selftest?

Or, just maybe, we could follow the convention of having subtest
enumeration always work regardless of environment, by always exposing
certain test names?

Why the rules don't apply to kselftest launchers?
