Update nova/Makefile and nova-core/Makefile so that nova-drm.ko and
nova-core.ko are produced, matching the module names set in patch 1.
Update drm::DriverInfo with the correct driver name and vendor
description. Fix Kconfig help text for both drivers and the debugfs
directory name in nova-core to match the new module names.

gpu: nova-core: add initial driver stub2025-03-09T18:24:27+00:00Danilo Krummrichdakr@kernel.org2025-03-06T22:23:30+00:00urn:sha1:54e6baf123fde089cfa9f609b0b39b40abe41e94
Add the initial nova-core driver stub.
nova-core is intended to serve as a common base for nova-drm (the
corresponding DRM driver) and the vGPU manager VFIO driver, serving as a
hard- and firmware abstraction layer for GSP-based NVIDIA GPUs.
The Nova project, including nova-core and nova-drm, in the long term,
is intended to serve as the successor of Nouveau for all GSP-based GPUs.
The motivation for both, starting a successor project for Nouveau and
doing so using the Rust programming language, is documented in detail
through a previous post on the mailing list [1], an LWN article [2] and a
talk from LPC '24.
In order to avoid the chicken and egg problem to require a user to
upstream Rust abstractions, but at the same time require the Rust
abstractions to implement the driver, nova-core kicks off as a driver
stub and is subsequently developed upstream.
