Subject: [PATCH] llvmpipe: use ppc64le/ppc64 Large code model for JIT-compiled
 shaders

Large programs, e.g. gnome-shell and firefox, may tax the
addressability of the Medium code model once a (potentially unbounded)
number of dynamically generated JIT-compiled shader programs are
linked in and relocated.  Yet the default code model as of LLVM 8 is
Medium or even Small.

The cost of changing from Medium to Large is negligible:
- an additional 8-byte pointer stored immediately before the shader entrypoint;
- change an add-immediate (addis) instruction to a load (ld).

Testing with WebGL Conformance
(https://www.khronos.org/registry/webgl/sdk/tests/webgl-conformance-tests.html)
yields clean runs with this change (and crashes without it).

Testing with glxgears shows no detectable performance difference.

Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1753327, 1543572, 1747110, and 1582226
