Open-IOV: initial public release
Open-IOV virtualizes NVIDIA GPUs so that unmodified guest drivers run with real GPU functionality - CUDA first, 3D and video to follow - on unmodified hosts, without a proprietary vGPU license and without patching any driver, firmware or hypervisor. Core principle: emulate the interface, pass through the work. kernel/ open-iov-vfio.ko - host VFIO mdev driver: virtual GPU device (PCI config space, BAR shadows, MSI-X), GSP boot emulation, GSP-RM message-queue/RPC emulation, memory model (GPU-VA to guest-PA discovery) and the semaphore-completion service that advances guest UVM progress. userspace/ libiov.so management API and examples. tools/ guest diagnostics, firmware analysis wrappers, RM probes. scripts/ stack manager, VM harness, build/load/test automation. config/ hardware/version profiles (the portability surface). docs/ documentation tree - start at docs/README.md. wiki/ long-form firmware and protocol deep dives. Status: initialization works end to end for a stock 570.144 Linux guest on Turing (TU104): driver probe, nvidia-smi, the full GSP-RM control battery, object creation and the early CUDA/UVM start-up path. GPU work forwarding - the step that makes CUDA kernels execute on real hardware - is the active work item; see docs/04-implementation/01-known-knowns-and-unknowns.md. License: BSD-3-Clause for the project; GPL-2.0 for kernel modules that link GPL-only kernel interfaces. See LICENSE and docs/09-reference/legal-and-licensing.md.

+sd s2, offset(sp)
+...
+addi s0, sp, N # Frame pointer (s0 = sp + N)
+mv sX, ra # Save RA to s1/s4/s10
+
+# EPILOGUE
+mv ra, sX # Restore RA
+ld s1, offset(sp) # Restore callee-saved

+### Phase 1: Core RPC Client (Week 1)
+```c
+// Primary dispatch entry
+#define GSP_RPC_DISPATCH_PRIMARY 0x057a1ac0
+#define GSP_RPC_JUMP_TABLE 0x057a3ad8
+
+// RPC message format (inferred)
+struct gsp_rpc_msg {
+ uint32_t type; // 0x01-0x0B, 0xFF
+ uint32_t subcmd; // Sub-command for jump table
+ uint64_t payload[6];
