Provide links to the drivers listed
Even when issue #192 is resolved, people may not know a specific driver mentioned (although it becomes easier to look them up, then).
Hence my suggestion to link the driver names in the summary tables (i.e., in their first column) to a comprehensive description of the corresponding driver.
Note that I tried hard to get the spelling (specifically the capitalisation(s)) of each driver right and to provide appropriate link targets (both needed surprisingly much effort in some cases).

thank for the contribution! ;)
about nv50 & nvC0, I've seen you've spent some time looking at how the drivers should be spelled, but what makes you think it is spelled this way for these two? Looking at the code names, it seems more like it's all caps: NV50 & NVC0

Ack & rectified in the original posting (I missed to look up these two).
