[Beignet] beignet and LLVM 4

[Yang, Rong R]

Hi Rebecca,

    LLVM 5. 0 has been released, we are planning to release a minor release 1.3.2 to support LLVM 4.0 and
LLVM 5.0 after beignet's LLVM5.0 patches are ready.
    Dose fedora applying 4.0 support is urgent? If not, I suggest you wait 1.3.2 release.    
    
Thanks,
Yang Rong
