Chromium GPU tests have their own separate buildbot step and set of expectations.  This causes extra complexity, gardening pain, configuration overhead, and on-going confusion about who's responsible for them.  These tests should not be special.

There's no reason why these tests can't be part of the layout_tests step.  Arguably, we could just not disable hardware acceleration for all layout tests and let the GPU tests trigger hardware acceleration as-needed.

The only real sticking point is the canvas tests which are run in both hardware and software mode.  senorblanco argues that we could just run these in hardware, which would sidestep the problem entirely.
