Roland, thanks a lot for your prompt reply! Very much appreciated! 

Seems Richard meanwhile switched companies from IBM to ARM meanwhile. I found
him on Linkedin. Possibly he's now working on aarch64 (LE). So I'm afraid he
has no longer access to BE machines any longer.

Unfortunately I'm not familiar with llvmpipe at all. Would it be an option not
to change the code there for BE, if developers have no access to such machines?
Reverse-applying the commit is going to break sooner or later I'm sure.

Of course I'm willing to test any proposed change/patch on s390x, but I'm not a
Mesa/llvmwpipe developer per se.

UNfortunately llvmpipe is needed on s390x, since it has become a requirement
for modern desktops like gdm/gnome-shell. :-(

I can't say how fundamental the issue is. gdm and gnome-shell just show a black
screen. :-( 

I found glxgears as example more useful. ;-)
