I backported NVIDIA's changes from 440.82 to 418.126.02 (tesla-418),
then to 390.132 (legacy-390xx) then to 340.108 (copying the wrong bug
number). There were always some parts being patched not yet existing in
the older releases so the patches got smaller on the way. For 340.108 it
was more or less a complete redo, since nvidia significantly
restructured the driver source after that series. There were also some
ancient bits no longer existing in newer releases that needed to be
patched additionally for 5.6.

So yes, it is fixed for the 340 series, too. But as always, only
compile-tested.
