Nouveau NVKM Copy Engine Subcomponent

Internal source code for the copy-engine portion of NVKM, the hardware abstraction layer inside the open-source Nouveau driver for NVIDIA GPUs. The copy engine handles asynchronous memory transfers between system RAM and video RAM on NVIDIA cards.

recommendation

This is not a standalone driver but a subdirectory of internal plumbing within the larger Nouveau DRM driver for NVIDIA GPUs. It only makes sense as part of Nouveau as a whole and should not be evaluated for keep-or-remove on its own.

codex reasoning notes (technical)

Not a driver directory: this is an internal NVKM copy-engine subcomponent inside the nouveau DRM driver, not a standalone kernel-bound hardware driver.
