NVIDIA open kernel driver availability

Announcing the availability of the NVIDIA open kernel driver package into the ELRepo repository.

Starting with the NVIDIA 570 driver set, we have added the kmod-nvidia-open package which supports Turing and later GPUs.  It is required for Blackwell and later GPUs.

If you are unsure of which kmod driver package to use, our nvidia-detect utility will recommend the appropriate kmod package.

If you currently have the kmod-nvidia installed, you can switch to the kmod-nvidia-open using the command:

dnf install kmod-nvidia-open --allowerasing

More information regarding the NVIDIA open kernel modules (currently v570.169) can be found here.
