Maybe NVIDIA should open their kernel part, like mobile GPU people did. Clever driver work is mostly done in userspace (although it would still be very useful to nouveau folks for easier RE).

So the intro about the binary driver is a red herring.

Does this solve the no nvidia blob access issue? Or is this something else entirely?
