With upstream maintainer hat,

Thanks for all the work over the years, Cambridge XDS 2007, and Sydney
LCA 2007 were quite the era ago when you started down this road, and
you will probably remain the greatest single authority on NVIDIA
hardware for many years to come,

I'm cc'ing dri-devel for wider coverage, we do have some contingencies
in place, which we will roll out over next few days, nouveau will
continue with the headstart Ben has given us with the GSP work.

Dave.
