It may be present, but I doubt it's functional.  I can't speak for
nvidia's implementation, but for AMD, ATPX is present, but when you
parse the supported functions there is a flag saying that you need to
use the PR3 interface instead.  Maybe nvidia has something similar.
Then the driver could select whether to use the PR3 helpers or the
vendor specific interface.
