It's going to make backporting stable fixes to 17.0 more error prone,
lots more error prone and I don't want that. Anything that touches
HAVE_LLVM vs MESA_HAVE_LLVM in the codebase, Not nice.

Who care what used to work, just make the reality sane for release.

If there is a bug report, close it saying just fix your build scripts.
