nova NVIDIA GPU drivers
=======================
The nova driver project consists out of two separate drivers nova-core and
nova-drm and intends to supersede the nouveau driver for NVIDIA GPUs based on
the GPU System Processor (GSP).
The following documents apply to both nova-core and nova-drm.

nova-core
=========
The nova-core driver is the core driver for NVIDIA GPUs based on GSP. nova-core,
as the 1st level driver, provides an abstraction around the GPUs hard- and
firmware interfaces providing a common base for 2nd level drivers, such as the
vGPU manager VFIO driver and the nova-drm driver.

Annotation
- Atlas domain: Support Tooling And Documentation / Documentation.
- Implementation status: atlas-only.
Implementation Notes
- This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
- Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
- Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
