I've tested this with both llvm 3.1 and 2.9, with and without avx and
draw-vertices and draw-vertices-half-float always pass with llvmpipe.
I don't see the other two tests (draw-vertices-half-float-user and
draw-vertices-user) in piglit.
Can you provide any more information about the crashes/aborts?
