I'm almost sure that manual installation allows you to use kernel 4.11 (or
other) because it is not a compiled kernel module.
I think I have it installed in kernel 4.11 but I'm not at home to check it.
Maybe someone can confirm it.

As far as I know AMD open source drivers doesn't work because doesn't have
"image support" <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=87738>[1].

But you can mix open source drivers with propietary ones (just the OpenCL
libs, the manual installation).

About the performance of the open source drivers I remember good results
against the propietary drivers in a phoronix benchmark
<http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=amdgpu-pro-1720&num=1>[2].
Anyways open source drivers doesn't work with darktable :(
