Acked-by: Tomi Sarvela <tomi.p.sarvela@intel.com>

This is good: the discovery of sub-selftests will be done by the tests, so
we can drop the selftest.testlist and use common blacklist where applicable.

BAT is running fast-feedback.testlist and after that from selftests:
igt@i915_selftest@live_*
igt@dmabuf@*

In other words, currently blacklisted selftests in BAT are:
igt@i915_selftest@{mock,perf}_*
igt@drm_mm@*
igt@kms_selftest@*

I don't mind selftests being shuffled through all the other tests, we have
the checks in place for taint/lockdep to recognize hopeless driver states
to force reboot.

Runtimes for last functional selftest shard are from CI_DRM_7925:
tgl 186s
hsw 762s
glk 223s
icl 177s
kbl 199s
apl 284s
snb 112s
skl 763s

The obvious outliers are SKL and HSW:
https://intel-gfx-ci.01.org/tree/drm-tip/CI_DRM_7925/shard-skl10/igt_runner35.txt 
https://intel-gfx-ci.01.org/tree/drm-tip/CI_DRM_7925/shard-hsw5/igt_runner35.txt 

HSW due to timeout in live_gtt which wasted 10 minutes, SKL due to generic slowness
and in addition couple of drm_mm tests taking > 100s per subtest.
