Nouveau NVKM fault-handling subcomponent

Internal plumbing inside the Nouveau open-source NVIDIA GPU driver that handles memory access faults reported by the GPU's MMU. It is one piece of the larger Nouveau stack that supports NVIDIA cards on Linux, not a standalone driver users would load on its own.

recommendation

This is not actually a driver directory; it is an internal building block of the Nouveau GPU driver that deals with GPU page faults. It only makes sense as part of the larger Nouveau tree and would never be evaluated for keep-or-remove on its own.

Not a driver directory: internal nouveau NVKM fault subdevice implementation, not a standalone kernel-bound hardware driver.
