Hi,

so we didn't get anyone to review these patches except the last one:
<https://redmine.replicant.us/issues/1844#note-13>. The last patch
turned out to be not needed as my testing showed and reading the patch's
logic it is doing nothing except forcing llvmpipe which is not wanted. I
suggest we push these patches except the last one now even if there is
no review as more than one week has passed.

I'm still hoping to hear from at least some of you in the To field of
this email whether you are okay pushing the patches.

Joonas
