Just to confirm, amdgpu will only be compatible with R9 290+ hardware ?

As Michael mentioned, one side-effect of the amdgpu effort is that work done to port the latest radeon kernel driver code to BSD (or any OS) will also benefit amdgpu and at least reduce the porting effort for the Catalyst stack in future.
But if that was the case one would just have to port AMDGPU and could port everything else with minimal effort. Afaik mesa accel would have been possible earlier also on the BSDs if they had incorporated KMS at that time.Stop TCPA, stupid software patents and corrupt politicians!

I am so happy, this article wasn't published 1 April.

They will be supported by the previous Catalyst architecture, or will be supported only by the Radeon/Mesa open driver?
