Looking at the patch, I cannot get on board with the idea that anybody
adding a test would need to add a new ipc_run_text_mode() call to make
sure that the redirection is able to work correctly.  Couldn't there
be a more central solution so as we limit the footprint of this logic
in some way?  This kind of solution is just going to create noise in
the long-term, especially when it comes to the buildfarm (aka I doubt
that we should spend cycles remembering that this is required)..
