Does Nvidia need to support Wayland, or does Wayland need to support Nvidia? I.e., what is the support at the API boundary which is missing?

I'm not sure exactly what the API boundries are.

I know that Nvidia is integrated into the kernel and that wayland is talking to nvidia through the kernel. I also know that for accelerated rendering, wayland is talking directly to the nvidia drivers (bypassing the kernel? IDK).

But I also know that in the nvidia release notes, they've mentioned changes to improve support and functionality of wayland.
