Nouveau NVKM DMA engine support code

Internal helper code inside the Nouveau driver stack that handles DMA (direct memory access) object setup for NVIDIA GPUs. It is part of the larger Nouveau open-source NVIDIA graphics driver, not a separate piece of hardware support on its own.

recommendation

This is not a standalone driver directory; it is a sub-component of the Nouveau NVIDIA GPU driver (the NVKM core), providing shared DMA plumbing used by other Nouveau engine code. Any keep-or-remove decision belongs to the Nouveau driver as a whole rather than this internal subdirectory.

codex reasoning notes (technical)

Not a driver directory: internal nvkm DMA engine support code within the nouveau DRM driver, not a standalone kernel-bound hardware driver.
