it appears that the latest git version of at least the open version of the
nvidia kernel module on github (595.71.05) is compatible with 7.0.x kernels.
Since usually the closed version is aligned, at least in terms of kernel
interfaces, this may be the case for that as well. Would it be feasible to
pull these versions (or a somewhat previous one known to be compatible with
new kernels) at least in experimental, even without letting get into sid or
testing? This would provide at least a partial working alternative to keep
kernel updates on hold for people depending on GPU offloading support on 
nvidia.

Thanks, best regards
Giacomo
