Nova and its uAPI are under active upstream development. We want to develop these interfaces upstream while making clear that they are not yet stable and may change incompatibly.
This series makes that status more explicit and requires users to acknowledge it before enabling the driver, tainting the kernel when they do. Introduce a minimal Rust abstraction for kernel tainting in order to support this. As individual interfaces stabilize, they should move from nova_drm_unstable.h to the stable nova_drm.h header. Once all interfaces have moved and all stakeholders agree that the uAPI is stable, the acknowledgment requirement and kernel tainting can be removed. (Compile-tested only, as I'm currently travelling.)
