AMD's HSA Run-Time Library Is Now Open-Source

[vein]

To make it absolutely clear, amdkfd currently supports only APUs, and the only APU which is HSA-capable at the moment is Kaveri.
We are planning to support discrete GPUs as well (e.g. R9 285) but this would take some time.
And, as John said, amdkfd has nothing to do with the graphic support, which is given by either the radeon driver (for CI and older) and the new, yet unpublished, amdgpu driver (for VI and up). Those drivers will of course support both APUs and discrete GPUs.
Bottom line, to run HSA, you need both a graphic driver (radeon or amdgpu in the future) and amdkfd installed and running on your system.
I hope this clears things.

I think I get it now

But amdkfd will support the upcoming R9 300 - series graphic cards?

I imagine that once we add dGPU support, all CI+ dGPUs will be supported, so R9 290 (CI), R9 285 (VI) and R9 300 (?) will be supported.
But until that time, only APUs are supported.
And I don't know what will come first, R9 300 or support for dGPU in amdkfd.
