Subject: llvmpipe: Update/correct CPU requirements.
X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=da1c40260d8cb49eacbb6c394198dc37e020e75a;p=mesa.git

llvmpipe: Update/correct CPU requirements.

There are no hard requirements at the moment.

We don't really emit any sse3 yet. Just some ssse3.

Thanks to Roland for spotting these incorrections.
