Keep in mind that:
* this is only the kernel module, not the userspace,
* the module is not compatible with the current FOSS userspace drivers (the
current version of Nouveau),
* the current version is only tested for CUDA computations, not for
graphics, and
* the kernel module only supports the latest GPU generations and there is no
plan to support older ones (which will continue to use Nouveau),
so this is a step in the right direction, but pretty useless in the current
state, the benefits will become visible only in the long term (but
eventually they will, just not now).
