XMir really is not related to this bug any more. It was only linked from
back when XMir was going to be our desktop.

In reality a Mir server is just as able to use LLVMpipe as any other GL
app. But we're still lacking a screen to render to or "software mode
setting".

** No longer affects: xorg-server (Ubuntu)

** No longer affects: unity-system-compositor
