Some success; some problems with x11/nvidia-driver-460.39_1

[David Wolfskill]

With the update of x11/nvidia-driver from 460.39 to 460.39_1, it
now builds and works on a couple of laptops, running either stable/12
(stable/12-n232662-e8eded55f23) or stable/13 (stable/13-n244485-6136a10e355a).

On those same laptops, however, I get panices running head (either
main-n244659-689561d40322 or main-n244663-f6e8256a965d).  As I was
unable to get crash dumps, I took screenshots; they are available at
https://www.catwhisker.org/~david/FreeBSD/ports/nvidia-driver/head_panics/

They look like lock-ordering issues to me -- but that should be
considered a semi-educated guess (at best).


Quite unrelated to the above (as far as I can tell), except that it also
involves an issue with x11/nvidia-driver: a desktop mini-tower that had
been building/updating x11/nvidia-driver-440 every week running
stable/12 ... did not do so well attempting to build the port during its
kernel build (by virtue of

PORTS_MODULES=x11/nvidia-driver

in /etc/src.conf) this morning -- it nearly finished, then failed to
find a file where it was expected during the "Registering installation"
phase:

| ...

This machine has the specification (in /etc/make.conf):

PORTSDIR=/common/ports

I re-created the observed issue by trying to update/install
x11/nvidia-driver using portmaster (in its default "clean everything
before and after" mode).

I did this in a script(1) invocation, and have copied the resulting
typescript to
