Answering my own question, looks like preliminary Radeon RX Vega support 
landed in Linux 4.12 with full support in 4.14/15. So it seems there is 
no additional Radeon GPU supported in drm-next-kmod (Linux 4.11) that 
isn't already supported in drm-stable-kmod (Linux 4.9). The differences 
seem to be down to improvements in VM drivers and power management. 
Please let me know if you have other information.

Another question, is it possible to estimate work/time before 
Wayland/drm-kmod on FreeBSD supports Linux 4.12/14/15 or NVidia cards?
