Flaky tests (probably just one) are the reason that lua integration is not enabled on this bot.

Sure, I think it should anyway not be up to any bot owner to track down flaky tests. And that nested_sessions lua test is anyway randomly failing everywhere from what I know.

It's not the setup, it's just that the lab.llvm.org interface is far less usable than Jenkins for tracking down regressions in tests (and Jenkins is already not great, so that says something). But that's just my personal preference and I agree that lab.llvm.org should be the central place for infrastructure.

Anyway, if @labath can run them on his fancy build bot then I would prefer that over having it on my bot (because I pay out of my own pocket and CPU cycles are $$$).
