[Mesa-dev] [PATCH 11/11] ac/radv: using tls to store llvm related info and speed up compiles (v3)

I wonder if we can somehow make the TLS magic apply to RADV only.
Radeonsi can do it without TLS. Then, the RADV-specific TLS code can be
moved to RADV, and other code (if any) can be shared.

It doesn't make much sense to do the TLS initialization in
ac_llvm_compiler_init. It could be done in compile_to_memory_buffer
and the fail path there could be removed.

The call to LLVMTargetMachineEmitToMemoryBuffer can be removed.
There is no use for it. Things like if(radv) and if(radeonsi) don't
look good in the common code even if you don't write it exactly like
that.
