> That would be great. As anisotropic filtering is often an option which can be set by a user, I guess most people turn it off to get higher framerates. But in our use case, high quality renderings are required, so we accept the longer render times to get the best quality; hopefully a llvmpipe port would be faster than the old swrast implementation (we are only using the fixed rendering pipeline/no shaders in conjunction with the OpenMP patch for speeding up GL_POLYGON_SMOOTH_HINT)

Is my first pass at writing the code for this I've no idea if this is
anyway correct, but I'm just letting everyone know I've started
working on it, and mipmap_tunnel doesn't look immediately wrong.
