Nouveau NVKM ACR firmware-loading subcomponent

Internal support code inside the open-source Nouveau NVIDIA GPU driver that handles the Access Controller (ACR) process for loading and authenticating signed firmware blobs onto modern NVIDIA GPUs. It is not a separate driver but a helper subsystem used by the broader Nouveau stack on Maxwell-generation and newer cards.

recommendation

This is not a standalone driver directory; it is an internal subcomponent of the Nouveau DRM driver that handles signed firmware loading for NVIDIA GPUs. It only makes sense when evaluated as part of Nouveau as a whole, not in isolation.

codex reasoning notes (technical)

Not a driver directory: internal Nouveau NVKM ACR subdevice support code within the DRM driver, not a standalone kernel-bound hardware driver.
