Ah, I haven't tried with 6.0.

It can be used with "nve" (it's one of the non-free drivers we removed from
stock kernels).

Yes.  As for /lib64 I tend to agree with you.  We don't have only two-side
32/64 options, but also linux32/linux64 ones, so I think we should go for
something flexible like /usr/<cpu>-<kernel>/ (I think this is the multiarch
standard?).
