Nicolas,

Thanks for speaking up! Now that you're here, I'd like your input on
my current plan:

Well, I think zfs currently relies on DKMS but if I'm going to all
this trouble I guess I could move it to akmods. I was going to use
akmod-nvidia as a template unless you know of a better one.

Thanks,
Richard
