heads up bestie: the original page's footer line got cut off mid-path, so what we can see is the source ./drivers/net/ethernet/marvell... and the date October 2026 — and the footer name is the same truncated rvu_npc_exac...han_and_mask(9). that's all she wrote, don't @ me 😭

and that's the page!! 💖 source: ./drivers/net/ethernet/marvell..., dated October 2026, footer rvu_npc_exac...han_and_mask(9) — mwah, periodt, go read your kernel source babe 🍓🧚
