Initial packaging for the 318.xx tesla driver has been accepted into
experimental, ppc64el packages should be built soon. Some more packages
from the software stack need to be updated to build for ppc64el, too,
but nothing should need to go through NEW, so this should be much
faster. Testing from your side would be very welcome. I need to check
whether I can get a ppc64el chroot running with qemu on amd64 to test
the installation (non-free packages can be built on porterboxes, but not
installed).
