Unfortunately, we won't be able to use it. LLVM is a hard dependency for the radeonsi and amdgpu drivers. It's also required for llvmpipe, which is the default software renderer and used by all desktops without a GPU. Working through all the dependencies for a mesa port without LLVM would be quite complex. Graphics is a complex area and to provide the best possible experience for the vast majority of our users, we want to ensure all the options we offer work. Making LLVM optional would create a testing matrix = that is beyond our ability to even spot check, let alone ensure works for the majority of all our users. It would be an ongoing burden to the team with = each new mesa release, as which drivers use what bits of LLVM are constantly changing. Taking all these factors into account, we're simple unable to sup= port making this optional at this time. We do not have the manpower for it. Of course, you are welcome to continue using your patch, for as long as it works, but you'll have to work out any issues that are caused by it.
