For anyone who has the kaveri chipset, here's how I made it work:

1. for kernel 3.16.2, F20 is in koji.

2. librm - add the kaveri pciids, and rebuild. The libdrm in koji does 
not have the pciid.

3. mesa - same as libdrm

4. xorg-x11-drv-ati - get xorg-x11-drv-ati-7.4.0-3.fc22.x86_64 from 
koji. This does not have the new pciids. Get xf86-video-ati from git.  Copy:
src/ati_pciids_gen.h
		
src/pcidb/ati_pciids.csv	
		
src/radeon_chipinfo_gen.h	
		
src/radeon_chipset_gen.h
		
src/radeon_pci_chipset_gen.h

src/radeon_pci_device_match_gen.h

to the rpm source. Simply patching didn't work for some reason.  Rebuild 
the rpm for f20, but disable glamor.
