In the short term this changes little, the should be build-able
similar to how the other proprietary NV kernel modules are now though.
In time they'll no doubt go upstream, either in their own right or be
integrated into the nouveau driver. This will take time and I suspect
the outcome will be very similar to the way the AMD GPU drivers work
where they have an open driver and a firmware.

Overall it's good news and positive for all of the ecosystem. It seems
also it's primarily focused, at least initially, on their data centre
GPUs so I suspect they'll be more stable/useful for AI/ML/CUDA
workloads than the average desktop user.
