Summary: "Today the RADV Radeon Vulkan driver is landing in mainline

Mesa and just hit the Git code minutes ago. Merging the RADV driver came

up just over the past few weeks in time for next month's Mesa stable

release while this community-based driver was developed over the summer

by David Airlie and Bas Nieuwenhuizen. This "unofficial" Radeon Vulkan

open-source driver is now becoming part of the Mesa code-base with it

being able to support the few Vulkan Linux games but isn't yet a fully

conformant driver. Here are fresh benchmarks of the RADV driver compared

to the RadeonSI OpenGL driver and benchmarks compared to AMD's hybrid

closed-source AMDGPU-PRO driver on several different graphics cards."
