The test could be running against an older kernel which won't have these
files and we should skip all the tests in that case.
E.g. Chris asked me to maintain compatibility within the gem_exec_parse
test for older versions of the command parser so I suppose i-g-t tries to
maintain backwards compatibility.
We could potentially require one and assert the other.

Explicitly setting the max rate interferes with being able to assert what
the default is, but that's already a problem with the cleanup fixture
explicitly setting the rate.
What I'm doing now is initializing oa_max_sample_rate before tests, as
suggested here, and I've also added a test_sysctl_defaults() test that's
run very early, just after the i915-ref-count test.

Thanks, I've moved the ref counting test in front of the first fixture as
suggested by chris (with just the requirements check that the i915-perf
interface exists in another fixture before).
