For those who have out of tree drivers that need migrate_vma(), but are not
Nouveau, could we pretty please allow a way to select that independently?
It's not a big deal, as I expect the Nouveau option will normally be selected,
but it would be nice. Because there is a valid configuration that involves
Nouveau not being selected, but our driver still wanting to run.
Maybe we can add something like this on top of what you have?
