LGTM so far.

Is the above comment just for 'memorytexture' test?  I've learnt to be
very explicit in my comments, as when new tests gets disabled, it's how
to track what is being commented about.

(also, I doubt someone will come back to the investigation later, so
this is technical debt on our side -- I'd favor a minimal investigation
with a report upstream if none exist so far).

There's no more comment about why this new test fails.  Is it known
upstream?

Instead of using -next things, perhaps we should byte the bullet and
update them in this iteration too?

Using various variants of system means the system closure will be
higher, may cause problems down the line (if the same process attempts
to load two variants library in memory, that would cause issues).
