[elrepo] bizarre issue with latest nvidia driver and kvm

my windows7 kvm guest started crashing semi regularly.  after rebuilding
kvm to get debugging info, i got the following traceback:

#0  0x0000003a4a200a08 in _nv007tls ()
   from /usr/lib64/nvidia/tls/libnvidia-tls.so.285.05.09
#1  0x00000030d4e05ad9 in __nptl_deallocate_tsd () from
/lib64/libpthread.so.0
#2  0x00000030d4e0674b in start_thread () from /lib64/libpthread.so.0
#3  0x00000030d42d44bd in clone () from /lib64/libc.so.6

it seems very odd that kvm should ever be touching nvidia code, but that
seems to be the case.  i'll be rolling back to the previous nvidia
version and hoping that fixes the problem.  should kvm ever touch this
library?  or is something in the libnvidia-tls accidentally getting
linked against by kvm?
