Linux's own r8169 through LDLS, deep idle, and the GPU plan
The RTL8168 is now driven by Linux's r8169, unmodified, in a process. `make ldls-r8169` stages it from the running kernel together with libphy, mdio-bus, mdio_devres and the Realtek PHY driver, the kernel's BTF and the RTL PHY firmware, and etc/schinit/ldls-r8169.job starts it at boot with its log in /var/log/ldls-r8169.log. The native driver is out of the registry; its code, now with Linux's 8168H setup, stays as the fallback. LDLS grows what that needed: - ldlsd loads a comma-separated module set in dependency order, each linking against the ones before it, with BTF read before any init_module runs; - a driver core (bus match, driver probe), devres, kernel printf, real udelay/msleep/ktime and 1000 Hz jiffies, phylib's bitmaps and link_mode_params, firmware from /lib/firmware, and the symbols whose stub zero was a lie (list validity, try_module_get, dev_err_probe, eth_platform_get_mac_address); - pdev->bus is a real pci_bus, and cmovcc from per-CPU memory is rewritten like the other %gs forms. In QEMU all five modules load, link and initialise, and r8169 registers and finds no device. Probe and traffic are untested until real hardware. The kernel turns ASPM off on Realtek NIC links at boot, as r8169 does through pci_disable_link_state, which a process cannot. Idle CPUs enter ACPI _CST's C2 (CC6 on Zen) by port read or MWAIT when the APIC timer keeps running, instead of only ever halting at C1. docs/plan/gpu.md: amdgpu and nouveau through LDLS, with measurements.
