Is anyone interested in taking a look at the remaining patches?

There are also some unreviewed interface linking tests relating to the last 4 patches on the piglit list [1]. I also have some generated execution tests in my piglit repo [2], I'm not sure if I've created these the best way and wish to extend them further so these haven't been sent to the piglit list yet.
