Fedora 24 will have this eventually ... but given the merge window has only
just closed give it a chance ;)

For now keep an eye on the  NoDebug Rawhide kernel repo to grab updates as
they appear ... bear in mind again the merge window only just closed so
though 4.6.0-rc1 is there right now it's probably not in an entirely great
state  ...

Note that the kernel alone is not enough for it - you'll also need the
newer unreleased yet mesa 11.2 and linux-firmware
