Right... we would need corresponding logic to disable CIK support in radeon. 

Would we need two flags, one for each driver, or could we define a flag at
drivers/gpu/drm level which would choose between radeon and amdgpu for
CIK hardware ? Even as I type that I don't like it... so two flags I guess.
