There's also this:
"The only exception we make is for code which was written for other
operating systems and was then ported to Linux."

This contradicts my thoughts about conventional interfaces like
spin_lock(), but explicitly endorses the NVIDIA driver, in direct
contradiction to Filip's argument (which I agreed with in broad strokes
but argued in the fine detail).
Enough armchair lawyering for me, as Greg K-H would say.
