Pull driver core updatesk from Greg KH:
"Here is the big set of driver core updates for 6.15-rc1. Lots of stuff
happened this development cycle, including:
- kernfs scaling changes to make it even faster thanks to rcu
- bin_attribute constify work in many subsystems
- faux bus minor tweaks for the rust bindings
- rust binding updates for driver core, pci, and platform busses,
making more functionaliy available to rust drivers. These are all
due to people actually trying to use the bindings that were in
6.14.
- make Rafael and Danilo full co-maintainers of the driver core
codebase
- other minor fixes and updates"

Add the initial nova-core driver stub.
nova-core is intended to serve as a common base for nova-drm (the
corresponding DRM driver) and the vGPU manager VFIO driver, serving as a
hard- and firmware abstraction layer for GSP-based NVIDIA GPUs.
The Nova project, including nova-core and nova-drm, in the long term,
is intended to serve as the successor of Nouveau for all GSP-based GPUs.
The motivation for both, starting a successor project for Nouveau and
doing so using the Rust programming language, is documented in detail
through a previous post on the mailing list [1], an LWN article [2] and a
talk from LPC '24.
In order to avoid the chicken and egg problem to require a user to
upstream Rust abstractions, but at the same time require the Rust
abstractions to implement the driver, nova-core kicks off as a driver
stub and is subsequently developed upstream.
