Hi Timo.

I would keep llvmpipe even on x86. Two reasons.

1. Ability to run on SSE2 only hardware
2. SWR do have some bugs compared to llvmpipe which is working almost perfectly.

Having both is also good for testing and benchmarking both as it enables way easier switching.

I do not think SWR is in a good shape or have enogh upstream maintainers
to enable by default even on amd64.

Enabling SWR and give time people (including me) to test it more and
compare to llvmpipe is a better idea.


Cheers,
Witold
