Summary: "I've just received confirmation from AMD that their

forthcoming Vulkan driver will only work with the AMDGPU DRM kernel

driver. This means that unless this AMDGPU kernel driver is extended to

support pre-VI hardware, only the very latest AMD GPUs on Linux will

work with Khronos' next-generation API."
