This is a proof of concept of adding the nvidia-fs driver as a kernel module that is compiled with the Linux kernel.

[ Test Plan ] *Make sure linux-modules-extra is installed and modinfo/modprobe nvidia-fs [ Where problems could occur ] *As mentioned above this does add an nvidia driver dependency on a kernel build, the linux-main debian/control file already addresses this with a build-depends on the nvidia driver, but if a user is just running a 'make modules' they would need to have the nvidia driver/headers installed for the build to be successful. *There is an issue with trying to add to linux-modules instead of -extra.
