I never said it was independent of Gallium - it's not. Got a reference for us that isn't out of date, and which explains how Clover is independent of Mesa and Gallium3D? Not exactly the kind of person who would get confused over the difference between OpenGL and OpenCL, or who has "no clue" what he's talking about. You must not recognize the name of Dave Airlie - among other things, he's an active Mesa developer, one of the main X.Org developers, and the maintainer of the Direct Rendering Manager in the Linux kernel i.e., he is the person who submits the pull requests to Linus for the graphics drivers in the kernel. It also supports GPU compute, specifically OpenCL, through the Clover state tracker. Despite it sometimes being called "Gallium3D", Gallium is not just for graphics. This has everything to do with Gallium and Mesa. No, you're quite wrong and he's entirely right. The person has no clue what the hell he was talking about. The only similarity is that some of the targets happens to be GPU. This has nothing to do with Gallium 3D or Mesa which are 3D graphics related.
