If you are using the Nvidia drivers and have installed new versions
of those packages but have not yet rebooted the host kernel,
attempting to use the egl-headless display will cause QEMU to fail to
start with
$ qemu-system-aarch64 -M virt -display egl-headless
qemu-system-aarch64: egl: eglInitialize failed: EGL_NOT_INITIALIZED
qemu-system-aarch64: egl: render node init failed
together with this complaint in the host kernel dmesg:
[7874777.555649] NVRM: API mismatch: the client has the version 535.247.01, but
NVRM: this kernel module has the version 535.230.02. Please
NVRM: make sure that this kernel module and all NVIDIA driver
NVRM: components have the same version.
This isn't a problem with QEMU itself, so reporting this as a test
failure is misleading. Instead skip the tests, as we already do for
various other kinds of "host system can't actually run the EGL
display" situation.

I run into this fairly often so I got fed up with just ignoring the
spurious test failure messages...
