I just remembered that back when I started working on Tegra DRM I wrote some small utilities to help with the reverse engineering and some test programs. At the time, some other projects were appearing and the trend seemed to be to reverse the syllables of the original to obtain a new name. So I went ahead and collectively named the utilities "grate". I'll throw xf86-video-grate in as another potential candidate.
