The Patch Needed to Fix CUDA on 5.9+ is Included in the patches/ Directory, but Doesn't Get Applied #11

So, due to the whole "GPL condom" mess, CUDA is now broken on 5.9+. The patch that apparently fixes it is indeed in patches/kernel-5.9.patch, but during the PKGBUILD process, I get the "Skipping kernel-5.9.patch as it doesn't apply to this driver version..." message, the patches aren't applied, and therefore CUDA remains broken.

Is there an easy way to set up a config option in customization.cfg that would allow for enabling/disabling this, since it seems like this is going to be an issue for the foreseeable future? If there are other parts of the patch that aren't necessary, is it possible to maybe take the necessary nvidia_uvm patch and put it in a standalone patch?

I will say I went ahead and created my own patch with just the necessary bits and it did in fact work to re-enable CUDA/nvidia_uvm support on 5.9.
