Originally we've abused make check, but that turned out to be a bad

check with a different set of tests (see the test: target in
tests/Makefile.am).
Right - make check doesn't make sense because you don't want distcheck
to fail when your kernel driver has a bug, and because many of us build
our packages on servers without Intel graphics devices installed.
One thing I'm wondering is whether we could easily ship these tests in
some form, so that users could run them from the distro package
instead of grabbing the sources.
Should distros just be shipping the entire intel-gpu-tools package,
including the tests?
