[SOLVED] AMD gpu not working with xorg after update

Just updated with pacman, and xorg is broken. Noticed the problem when I couldn't run kitty. Figured I'd reboot, driver updates and all sometimes need that. Back in, xorg not working ether. Tried switching from the -git versions of the drivers but still no luck.
Here's the error message:

MESA-LOADER: failed to open radeonsi: libLLVM-11.so: cannot open shared object file: No Such file or directory (search paths /usr/lib/dri)
failed to load driver:radeonsi 

There is a swarm of other errors following it - most of them just failed to load driver - but it seems the problem is sourced at this libLLVM-11.so.
Everything was wroking fine till I ran my daily pacman update. I tried updating the mirrors list and downgrading things, but I'm stumped.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

edit:
[SOLVED]

I just went scorched earth, removed all my graphical drivers, and then went from there. I think the one that specifically fixed it was the llvm-libs library, so I guess I should have troubleshot more.

I would Also like to note for any of those who stumble upon this post that I was previously running the mesa-git repository and removing that was part of the fix (removing not really, but more like all the packages that were there).
