Yep, these scripts are currently being used as-is from Mesa, so we got 
that functionality for free.

I think some drivers are currently a bit too buggy to behave reliably 
under CI unless one reduces coverage (rockchip on rk3399, for example). 
And some other drivers (in other subsystems as well) could do with a 
review of what they print to the console. I guess these are things we 
could and probably should fix?
