I don't have specific dates handy, but the wiki states which is 
hopefully helpful:

(under AMD GPU section):
"AMD GPU is the kernel module that can be used to support post-HD7000 or 
Tahiti GPU's."

(and under Radeon KMS)
"Radeon KMS is a distinct driver intended for older AMD based GPU's that 
are available in pre-HD7000 or Tahiti GPU's"

I'll update the support matrix to reflect this, also - corrections or 
clarifications are certainly welcome here! :)
