buildkernel (ambiguous, available in 2 overlays)
- Ebuilds: 3, Testing: 9999 Description:
This is a script that builds a Gentoo Linux EFI stub kernel which is
suitable for booting from a USB key using UEFI (no additional
bootloader required). It makes use of the initramfs creation tools
(and early userspace init) provided by sys-kernel/genkernel-next.
LVM-over-(dual-factor)LUKS, secure boot and plymouth are supported.

dkms
- Ebuilds: 4, Stable: 3.2.2, Testing: 9999 Description:
Dynamic Kernel Module Support (DKMS) is a program/framework that enables generating Linux kernel modules whose sources generally reside outside the kernel source tree. The concept is to have DKMS modules automatically rebuilt when a new kernel is installed.
An essential feature of DKMS is that it automatically recompiles all DKMS modules if a new kernel version is installed. This allows drivers and devices outside of the mainline kernel to continue working after a Linux kernel upgrade.
Another benefit of DKMS is that it allows the installation of a new driver on an existing system, running an arbitrary kernel version, without any need for manual compilation or precompiled packages provided by the vendor.
DKMS was written by the Linux Engineering Team at Dell in 2003. It is included in many distributions, such as Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, SUSE, and Arch. DKMS is free software released under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) v2 or later.
DKMS supports both the rpm and deb package formats out-of-the-box.

hid-nintendo-dkms
- Ebuilds: 1, Testing: 3.2_p20220722 Description:
This hid-nintendo kernel driver adds support for Nintendo Switch
Joy-Con and Pro Controllers, connected over USB or Bluetooth.
Joy-Cons be used either separately or in combined mode.
This driver will be included in a future release of Linux 5.16[1].
This package consists of just the driver, extracted for use with
older kernels.
You probably also want games-util/joycond, a daemon which implements
Joy-Con pairing.
