NVIDIA VFIO Driver Prepares For Blackwell With Linux 6.14

There are a few minor VFIO core changes while the lone change worth really mentioning for VFIO in Linux 6.14 is on the NVIDIA side. NVIDIA's "nvgrace-gpu" VFIO PCI driver is being extended to support the new Grace Blackwell "GB" hardware:
"Update nvgrace-gpu vfio-pci variant driver for new Grace Blackwell hardware, conditionalizing the uncached BAR workaround for previous generation hardware based on the presence of a flag in a new DVSEC capability, and include a delay during probe for link training to complete, a new requirement for GB devices."
That code is now merged via the VFIO pull request as one new bit of NVIDIA Grace Blackwell support in the upstream Linux 6.14 kernel.
