[Mesa-dev] [PATCH 1/2] docs/llvmpipe.html: Add ppc64le as alternative architecture to x86.

[Ben Crocker]

Power8, Power8NV, and Power9 are supported on an equal footing
with X86.

 The Gallium llvmpipe driver is a software rasterizer that uses LLVM to
 do runtime code generation.
 Shaders, point/line/triangle rasterization and vertex processing are
-implemented with LLVM IR which is translated to x86 or x86-64 machine

 Also, the driver is multithreaded to take advantage of multiple CPU cores
 (up to 8 at this time).
