TBH, I have no clue what that library is good for.
Nvidia was not very informative when adding library,
these are the two places where it is mentioned in the documentation:
o Various libraries that are used internally by other driver components.
These include '/usr/lib/libnvidia-cfg.so.510.73.08',
[...]
'/usr/lib/libnvidia-allocator.so.510.73.08'.
* Added support for the GBM API. This adds the new symlink
nvidia-drm_gbm.so pointing to the file libnvidia-allocator.so.VERSION to
implement a GBM backend driver usable with the GBM loader from the Mesa
[...]
Do you have some suggestions what to put into the description instead?
("Nvidia probably knows a reason for the existence of this library."
wouldn't be helpful either.)
