Comment:
I'll look at making it an option.  For now, I think we'll continue to ship the proprietary kernel modules due to their wider hardware support.

> The proprietary flavor supports the GPU architectures Maxwell, Pascal, Volta, Turing, Ampere, and forward.

> The open flavor of kernel modules supports Turing, Ampere, and forward. The open kernel modules cannot support GPUs before Turing, because the open kernel modules depend on the GPU System Processor (GSP) first introduced in Turing.
