Test results are available at https://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/folders/1ZHwi-YQZUR7pGIo-QcT9NbupnUk5GJPp.
No regressions were found.

While the 470-server drivers installed and passed the cuda testing across bionic/focal/hirsute, "ubuntu-drivers" does not identify this as a option for any release. The response I see is:

Retested with the latest kernels as of Sept 7, 2021. Now able to see that ubuntu-drivers now lists the 470-server driver as an available option. For both Focal and Hirsute, I first had to enable -proposed. For Bionic, it worked with the 4.15.0-156.163 kernel that was released this week.

Tested combinations:
Release   Kernel
Bionic    4.15.0-156.163
Focal     5.4.0-85.95 (from focal-proposed)
Hirsute   5.11.0-35.37 (from hirsute-proposed)

Tested each driver with a cuda workload and use of nvidia-smi to verify the driver functions as expected after install.
