Sounds good.

I think `drivers/gpu/` should also work. Maybe it works inside a
deeper one, but I don't recall trying that.

So essentially you can move both `nova-drm` and `nova-core` (and the
exports of course) there, and then since everything is in a single
`Makefile`, we can just add the dependency between them as a standard
Make one.

I think you don't even need their old `Makefile`s anymore, and that
avoids the double building and so on and so forth. You still need to
emit the metadata, but I think we can pass the flag, avoiding the
custom rule too.
