Updates to mesa and llvm

Updates to mesa and llvm

[Philip Balister]

Recently I need to get the llvmpipe driver running with mesa. I ended up
adding a llvm-3.7 recipe and updating mesa to 10.6.8. Not sure if going
to 11.x.y also works.

I'd like to upstream these since they configuration actually worked and
performance was much better. I recall some discussion lately about this
process and wanted to make sure I didn't break anything :)

I'll send on the llvm 3.7 stuff this week, since it should work in
parallel with the older recipe. I do need to move the license file
checksum into the version specific piece.

The timing on the mesa update is trickier since we are trying to
stabilize the oe-core release.

Comments? Will adding another llvm recipe cause trouble for other packages?

I was told 2 weeks ago that updates to 10.6.8 was too late for this cycle,
and Ross said we could cherry pick patches from upstream if needed..

As for 11.x, we have patches ready for next cycle.. As soon as we can
update master we will send them.

That is what I thought. llvm3.3 doesn't work with mesa-10 (and I assume
11), so I'll send that in soon, unless there is a compelling reason not
to. It does look like we support multiple llvm versions.
