Thanks for the input gents.

So the input so far we've got is that no-one is testing llvm 3.6 with
mesa 10.4. I love to give it a spin, yet Archlinux doesn't have llvm
3.6 . There is also the double-free bug mentioned in
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89387

All that said, Sedat I will revert the commit and release 10.4.6
without it. On the positive side, mesa 10.5.0 is coming out later on
today, which should work like a charm with llvm 3.6.

Cheers
Emil
