This is just a suggestion; but wouldn't it be better to have Beignet 
master track the upstream "stable" LLVM branch, ie. currently 3.6 pre-
release, and have release versions of Beignet target the currently 
released LLVM version with bugfix, and possibly stable feature updates?

This way Beignet isn't always playing catch up when new LLVM versions 
appear and doesn't cause distributors issues with multiple LLVM 
version requirements between Mesa and Beignet.

Downside, of course, is Beignet developers would have to change their 
development process to include building of the branched "stable" LLVM 
when working on master branch to ensure no breakage occurs.
