Er, just _remove_ the output.

Done like so.  OK?  Tested, no regressions on i386-pc-linux-gnu, fixes
8 failures using gdbserver to i386-pc-linux-gnu.

Can you rephrase this?


Some test verifies that the output from the inferior is MI encapsulated
- I believe it was mi-console.exp, and it's now KFAILed.  If we changed
MI to successfully encapsulate this sort of output, that would fix
mi-console.exp but  break tests like this one.  That's all I meant.
Good, you were agreeing that the output was irrelevant.
