Linux 3.12 vs. 3.13 Kernel - RadeonSI Testing Ubuntu Linux

Linux 3.12 kernel versus Linux 3.13 kernel Git benchmarks with Mesa 10.1-devel from Oibaf PPA on Ubuntu 13.10 Linux. Using latest drivers and swap buffers wait disabled. Using Radeon HD 7950 and R9 270X graphics cards but more open-source vs. closed tests forthcoming by Michael Larabel. Tests of RadeonSI Linux configurations for a future article on Phoronix.com looking at open-source AMD Linux graphics performance.
