Attached are two absolute messes of a debdiff, one for nvidia and one 
for nvidia-tesla. I don't think these should be applied without a 
grownup looking at what's going on here -- both are a mess. Hopefully 
its a net workload reduction for you.

I started with the tesla patches (I didn't know about the dependency to 
nvidia's current dkms module), so the diffs are a bit of a mess and not 
exactly the same. There's also two patches in the tesla debdiff that 
should be one -- and I didn't make any DEP3 headers. There's a lot of 
YOLO in here and not my finest work.

Running a test program, it appears to be working still.

Thank you for maintaining this!
