What is GPU Unlock?
This Linux kernel module combines the CMP unlocker's V67/PLM technique with the pre-driver timing of the UEFI approach. It runs the unlock, writes the speed selectors (SS0 0x88888888, which selects the full BF16 rate, and the 4-bit SS1 0x8 IMLA4) and performs FLR before the unmodified NVIDIA driver binds the card. It is neither a UEFI application nor a patched NVIDIA driver.
