Does zen kernel have built-in support for AMDGPU on "Southern Islands"

I can't find this specification anywhere.

I currently have linux-ck kernel, which does support it, so I need to know before I decide to change.
The main reason I'd change to zen, is that it has valve's fsync patch, while ck apparently doesn't.
Unless ck actually has this patch, and it's just a problem with my hardware being so old, that it doesn't matter.

Whatever I do, I always end up with something horribly mis-configured.

From AMDGPU#Enable_Southern_Islands_(SI)_and_Sea_Islands_(CIK)_support the kernel config options to check is

CONFIG_DRM_AMDGPU_SI=Y

You can find the config using the Source Files link from https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extr … linux-zen/
