I run -CURRENT on my systems (which is where I did the initial kernel
driver work for this driver.)

If you're clever you can edit the 1 file preventing the driver from
building on -CURRENT and it will all just work.

You'll note that the package detects DEVFS, which isn't a -STABLE feature.

The driver works just fine on -CURRENT but don't bother NVIDIA with bug
reports if you're trying to use it there.
