Because of this I'm wondering if we should be adding LLVM to oe-core (taking the meta-oe recipes).  GCC will still be the cross-compiler used but LLVM will be available out of the box, for example the Gallium LLVM-based Mesa drivers can be enabled without requiring meta-oe.

Having llvm enabled by default in mesa would save me a few distro overrides. Just try to enable r600 support and you'll see how painful the current situation is.
