That doesn't really matter. Just so that I know do you actually have a plan or 
are you just playing around? I'm asking because the reason the Clover 
repository is waiting is because the entire codebase will depend on the 
infrastructure for GPGPU in Gallium, Clang integration and LLVM code-gen code. 
In the gallium resources branch I've the first crucial part of the changes in 
Gallium which is support for buffer reads and gather instructions. Then we'll 
need to implement scatter and memory spaces. 
TBH anything short of that Gallium/Clang/LLVM infrastructure work is at this 
point not very useful because it will just be rewritten later. Actually from 
the simpler stuff maybe cleaning up the build system or changing the testing 
framework to QtTest would be useful for later. I wouldn't spend any time on 
anything but that at this point.
