Was this intentional? This is reverting an earlier fix:

I'm not sure if this is the reason but master-next build is also
showing problems when running X with qemuarm:

parselogs test is used not only for qemu but for other MACHINES as well
including genericx86 on actual hardware where glamor initialization
error might need looking into. Perhaps this should be added to qemu
specific parts of this test only?

Thanks,
