Rebasing mesa (with a new llvm) does enable features of hardware that
currently cannot be used or enable use of hardware that does not work
currently. Simply telling the users "go buy different hardware or wait
six months" is not the way to go. (We have done this in the past
multiple times; its not the first time).
