I remember reading that the Linux diff for Ryzen was very small because 
its "just" CPU without a GPU and was limited to adding support to 
northbridge driver and to tread the on-chip I/O like a northbridge with 
a new PCI-ID and. And a bugfix in the scheduler logic added to improve 
performance on Bulldozer based AMD system with reduces performance on Zen.
