+ * Applications that use NVML will leave some leftover device references as
+ * NVML is not currently supported for checkpointing. In most cases, NVML is
+ * used during intialization to get information such as gpu count and
+ * capabilities. These values are unlikely to change during runtime and
+ * typically not accessed again.
+ *
+ * To enable checkpoint/restore with drivers that do not have support for
+ * checkpointing of applications that use NVML, we handle remaining references
+ * to /dev/nvidiactl and /dev/nvidia{0..N} using the {DUMP,RESTORE}_EXT_FILE hooks.
