So the RX 470 appears to be the special case as the RX 480 and R9 Fury OpenGL (RadeonSI) performance didn't appear to benefit from Linux 4.11 AMDGPU code:

Linux 4.10 4.11 DRM-Next AMDGPU Vulkan
Linux 4.10 4.11 DRM-Next AMDGPU Vulkan
Linux 4.10 4.11 DRM-Next AMDGPU Vulkan
Linux 4.10 4.11 DRM-Next AMDGPU Vulkan
Linux 4.10 4.11 DRM-Next AMDGPU Vulkan
Linux 4.10 4.11 DRM-Next AMDGPU Vulkan
Linux 4.10 4.11 DRM-Next AMDGPU Vulkan
Linux 4.10 4.11 DRM-Next AMDGPU Vulkan

While the OpenGL RX 480 / R9 Fury numbers weren't interesting, the RADV results up next are what were promising....
