We don't use piglet on android. Piglet does not know about adb. Piglet expects 
to be running on the system under test not on a separate host.

The main aim of this is because on android we are not testing a driver which is 
drm-nightly. The kernel / display driver used on android will not have all the 
features that are in the latest linux kernel. We keep hitting problems where 
new subtests get added to IGT to test features that are not yet in the android 
kernel. We run and report tests at a binary level as that is what the project 
managers expect. We wish to be able to run the latest versions of IGT to pick 
up bug fixes and useful test changes, but want a way of being able to exclude 
subtests that are not currently appropriate on android without having to 
exclude complete test binaries. The specific subtests which need to be excluded 
will differ depending on the HW (CHV vs BXT for example) and specific driver 
version in the build under test so we need a simple mechanism to specify the 
subtests to run or exclude (depending on which is more appropriate) for each 
test.
