Just out of curiosity, following the discussion between Dave Airlie
and Codeaurora this summer re GPU driver shims.

Is the AMD GPU exposing all functionality in its kernel driver or
is there some userspace blob somewhere with lots of e.g. GL
goodies?

All the functionality for the kernel driver of AMD GPU Z430/Z160 (now belongs to Qualcom) is exposed. But we need accompanied userspace library to call these functionality (buffer management, command submission, ...).
