Yes, x11/nvidia-driver* doen't use LinuxKPI at all, and AFAIK, blob parts of
the drivers are not sensitive with kernel versions (shared within all supported
versions including main branch of src).

I'm not a nvidia insider, but my understanding (and my experiences indicate) is
that all kernel-version-dependent codes are provided as source codes in
upstream driver tarballs.

OTOH, graphics/nvidia-drm-*-kmod[-devel] is linked with codes from
corresponding graphics/drm-*-kmod and requires LinuxKPI, thus, quite fragile on
kernel updates just as graphics/drm-*-kmod do. This is unavoidable.
