[pve-devel] [PATCH pve-nvidia-vgpu-helper v2 3/4] add pve-nvidia-vgpu-helper and Makefile to make dependency installtion more convenient

looked (&tested) mostly the script itself, not at the Makefile

Looks mostly OK to me, the only thing i noticed is that we only look at the current running kernel,
maybe we should also check if the opt in kernel is installed?

e.g. my test was:

install pve + this package
run 'pve-nvidia-vgpu-helper' => installs default headers
install proxmox-kernel-6.11
run 'pve-nvidia-vgpu-helper' again => says "all required packages are installed' but for dkms i
    think it wouldn't work (and not loading the module after a reboot)

It's probably not a bad idea to install the packages for all installed kernel versions? (@Thomas ?)
Not super sure about how exactly DKMS works, but i think it tries to compile for all installed 
kernel versions no?
