As a Kaveri owner, I haven't bothered to spend the time migrating from RADEON to AMDGPU yet, which is what I understand is the "stock" path. However it sounds as if AMDKFD is going to work with AMDGPU, not with RADEON. So if I want shiny, neat stuff like OpenCL-2.x, it sounds like I'll need to be moving from RADEON to AMDGPU. Is there a suggested timeframe or milestone for that, or is it just when I get a round tuit?

Does this have anything to do with the limit to the max number of GPUs? As far as I recall that is a limitation of BIOSs being 32 bit and not being able to reserve 256 MB of RAM per GPU device (usual 8-9 GPU limit). With EPYC having 128 PCIE 3.0 lanes, will amdkfd/ROCm allow ~16 GPU systems (8 dual GPU cards in a single node) for latency limited peer-to-peer communication? (As is the case with most lattice calculations, where several KB of data need be sent, but as fast as possible).

radeon.cik_support=0 amdgpu.cik_support=1
on the kernel command line.

I'm still running a 7850/Pitcairn in my Ryzen system, and I'm jealous of all the new ROCm stuff I don't get to play with until I upgrade to something newer.

SI has HDMI/DP audio (even without DC), but no UVD/VCE.
Those are the main blockers for making amdgpu the default for them.
