There's definitely some features in ES 3.1 that noone is working on (as
far as I'm aware) for llvmpipe. compute shaders, atomic counters, shader
bitfield operations (the latter should be quite easy to implement if
you're interested to help), shader image load/store at a first glance,
possibly more. So, it's probably not going to happen...
