I've managed to add the patch today and recompile. Complete success and 
works as expected. It no longer crashes when ibt=on.

Initially I've had an idea to automatically set this kernel command line 
boot values when the module is installed, but having this informative 
message is actually better. One nit-pick is that the kernel message is 
not clear as to what module it's talking about.

kernel: NVRM: This module is incompatible with IBT. Try booting with 
ibt=off.

A better message could be,

kernel: NVRM: This Nvidia driver is incompatible with IBT. Try booting 
with ibt=off.

Thanks!
