Description
Given that the current upstream attempt at interacting with NV hardware is basically
,
it would be great to be able to pull this repository into the kernel tree similar to what can be done with OpenZFS, PF_RING, XTables-Addons, etc.
This is mostly a matter of converting the makefiles to the kbuild structure and having a copy script which will throw the relevant files into appropriate locations in a user-provided/default kernel tree.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the repository's existing Makefiles and the Linux kernel tree integration patterns referenced in the issue. Convert the build flow to kbuild and add a copy script that places the relevant files in appropriate locations in a user-provided or default kernel tree; done means the repository can be built in-tree.
