Add the gsp_phys_mdev_owned ownership selector (default 0: unchanged
load-time module-owned claim/boot). With 1, module load claims nothing;
the first mdev create starts a refcounted backend session whose
claim+boot runs asynchronously from a work item, so mdev create and
init_work never block. The last mdev remove releases after the emulation
thread is stopped. Failures are fail-open: the backend stays OFF and the
mdev keeps serving the emulation path.
nv_vgpu_exit now gates the session STOPPING under the session lock,
drains the emulation threads via mdev_unregister_driver(), and only then
releases the claim; the module-owned path keeps its previous release
position. A start while STOPPING is refused and a concurrent second
stopper cannot release twice. No forwarding is added.

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.
