[Beignet] Does LLVM 3.6 still hit a bug?

When was this workaround done (in particular, is beignet 1.1.1 
affected)?  As the Khronos test suite is non-public, I can't test this 
myself.

Debian have now announced an intention to remove LLVM 3.5 
(https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=803643).

An alternative option (which I haven't tested yet but appears to be 
working in Fedora) would be to apply 27522f9..2af7dea and go straight to 
LLVM 3.7.
