Fixing another security issue:

  * CVE-2012-4225.  (Closes: #684781)
    Add upstream patch nvidia-blacklist-vga-pmu-registers-195.diff:
    Fix exploitable local privilege escalation through VGA window manipulation
    via the device nodes that allows access to arbitrary physical memory.

This requires an update of nvidia-graphics-modules, too.
