Enabling HyperZ Is Still An Easy Way For Faster RadeonSI Performance

Xonotic had nice gains attributed to enabling HyperZ for this new AMD A10-7800 on Mesa 10.3 with the Linux 3.16 kernel.

Let's hope open-source AMD developers will be able to fix-up the HyperZ support so it's stable and can be enabled by default in the open-source AMD Linux driver as the performance improvements tend to be quite generous for games and other heavy OpenGL applications. Throughout all of my testing I didn't encounter any graphical corruption or stability problems when HyperZ was enabled for the AMD A10-7800 APU.
