On splitting out x11/nvidia-kmod* from x11/nvidia-driver*, the requirement from
bapt@ as kmod builder manager was not to depend on anything heavy-to-buld like
x11-servers/xorg-server as of the quite limited builder resources.

To meet the requirement, we finally made decision to
  *Split out kmod only parts from x11/nvidia-driver* into corresponding
   x11/nvidia-kmod*

  *graphics/nvidia-drm-{510|515|61|66}-kmod to switch
   dependency from x11/nvidia-driver to x11/nvidia-kmod

And this caused to require a tricky solution.

As graphics/nvidia-drm-{510|515|61|66}-kmod are no longer allowed to depend on
x11/nvidia-driver not to be rejected by kmods builder, x11/nvidia-driver is no
longer
pulled into by them.

To resolve this, we made graphics/nvidia-drm-kmod ports, which is the metaport
to pull in prober-for-base graphics/nvidia-drm-{510|515|61|66}-kmod, to depend
on x11/nvidia-driver to pull it in.

Following the procedure in the Handbook, graphics/nvidia-drm-kmod metaport
should pull in what's needed. In older way, installing x11/nvidia-driver*
automatically pulls in corresponding x11/nvidia-kmod*.

Because of the above restrictions, installing directly
graphics/nvidia-drm-{510|515|61|66|latest}-kmod{-devel} without
graphics/nvidia-drm-kmod{-devel} causes missing dependency of
x11/nvidia-driver{-devel}.

Note that supports for latest variant of graphics/drm-*-kmod and devel variant
of nvidia drivers are introduced after the split.
