Rung 1 (ownership): a default-off gsp_phys_gpu module param; on claim the
distribution driver is released from 10de:1ed3, our pci_driver binds it,
BAR0/1/3 are mapped and the falcon state is sampled; release unbinds ours
and rebinds the distribution driver. Verified live: claim reads
BOOT0=0x164000a1 with the falcon halted and mailboxes clear; rmmod rebinds
nvidia and nvidia-smi stays healthy.
Rung 2 (firmware): while the device is owned, gsp_phys_fw (default
nvidia/570.211.01/gsp_tu10x.bin) is fetched with request_firmware, checked
as ELF64 RISC-V, and its sections are logged (.fwimage, .fwversion,
.fwsignature_tu10x). The image is held for the boot rung.
The claim is default-off; the emulation path is unchanged.

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.
