If it's helpful, Dylan has G33, Pineview, G965, and GM45 set up in the 
lab and running tests.  You just drop in your git remote URL and branch 
name and it runs Piglit on all your platforms.  (No Ironlake or 
Sandybridge yet, unfortunately...we need to buy more machines.)

Patches 1, 3, and 13 are

Patches 2, 4-7, and 11 are

I am reluctant about 8-10 (replied separately); I also think 12 and 14 
could be done better but if there isn't time, then oh well.
