Real EFI hardware, AMD processor, AMD/ATI/Radeon graphics, sound. No wifi.
 $ uname -r
 4.14.12-2.mga6 [which is the linus kernel]

Been running for a few hours on mixed but normal things, no problems noted. Videos  & sound OK. Thanks to Len for the following basic things to try (you need to install both pkgs):
 $ stress -c 2 -i 2 -m 2 -d 2 -t 10
 stress: info: [6141] dispatching hogs: 2 cpu, 2 io, 2 vm, 2 hdd
 stress: info: [6141] successful run completed in 13s
and
 $ glmark2
This kernel is OK for me.

Unfortunately there is still some regressions that will be fixed in 4.14.13, so  a new kernel will be coming...

description: |
  This kernel-linus update provided the upstream 4.14.13 and and fixes
  several security issues.

  The most important fix in this update is for the security issue named
  "Meltdown" that is fixed in theese kernels by enabling kernel Page
  Table Isolation (KTPI). Note that according to AMD, this issue does
  not effect Amd processors, so it is not enabled by default on systems
  using Amd CPU.

  The list of known security fixes and mitigations in this kernel:

  Systems with microprocessors utilizing speculative execution and indirect
  branch prediction may allow unauthorized disclosure of information to an
  attacker with local user access via a side-channel analysis of the data
  cache (CVE-2017-5754, "MeltDown").

  A use-after-free vulnerability was found in network namespaces code
  affecting the Linux kernel before 4.14.11. The function get_net_ns_by_id()
  in net/core/net_namespace.c does not check for the net::count value after
  it has found a peer network in netns_ids idr, which could lead to double
  free and memory corruption. This vulnerability could allow an unprivileged
  local user to induce kernel memory corruption on the system, leading to a
  crash. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully
  ruled out, although it is thought to be unlikely (CVE-2017-15129).

  The kernels are also fixed to allow loading cpu microcode for Amd
  family 17 (Zen) processors.

  For more info about Meltdown, Spectre and other fixes in this update,
  see the refences.
