Subject: Linux v4.6 does not work with Centos 7 (Radeon) but works with Linux v4.5

A lot of breakage for Building v4.6 on Centos 7.

The following error occurs after booting Linux v4.6 on Centos 7 with a
Radeon Adapter:

R600_cp:  Failed to load Firmware "Radeon/R600_rlc.bin
FATAL Error during GPU init.

Linux v4.5 works fine.  Also of note, someone moved some scripts
around resulting in and error during kernel install.  This build was
with "make localmodconfig":
