Looks good to me. It's disabled by default, which is important because upstream doesn't really support shared llvm libs -- it's something that distros are doing on their initiative.
Also note that this will saves disk at the expense of runtime memory -- as the shared LLVM library will contain the _whole_ LLVM, and not just the components targets needed, and given that there is usually only xxx_dri.so module on a system at a time, that means a net increase. libLLMVM-3.0 is 22MB on my system, which means 22MB - 13MB = +9MB of increased memory usage. Linux kernel may page out some portions to disk though.
