Thanks, it turns out this is not exactly enough, given as 
Joerg notes:

--
AMD-KFD on the other hand needs to be loaded before the                                                                                          
radeon driver (but this it not enforced by symbols), because otherwise                                                                                        
the radeon driver will not initialize the AMD-KFD driver.

We have a theoretical race still possible between the kfd module
and the drm driver. I'll reply to Joerg's e-mail with more feedback.
