Genode OS Framework version 17.05 released

[Chris Rothrock]

Any laptop or PC I compile Genode on that has an Intel CPU works fine for
the framebuffer.  Any PC or laptop I compile Genode on that has an AMD CPU
the framebuffer doesn't work.  So far from what we have been able to
determine is there is not support for AMD's framebuffering and any sort of
interaction using an AMD CPU has to be done with a serial port, not
standard video output.  If I am wrong in this conclusion, please correct
me, but this is something we have actively found to be the case.
