Sorry, had missed this comment. Are you suggesting changing the module name
or just reduce the number of times we use the nvgpu keyword in all the functions
of the module? I don't see any in-tree or vfio-pci module with a similar *nvgpu*
name, and the clash appears to be with items outside of the kernel tree. Given
that, should we still change the module name as nvgpu-vfio-pci sounds a relevant
name here? Thanks.
