[elrepo] bizarre issue with latest nvidia driver and kvm

[Joe Pruett]

sorry, forgot to give all the useful info.

this is on centos 5, with the 285 version of nvidia.  i'm going to try
dropping back to the 280 version of nvidia now.

i guess my main question was did it seem odd that kvm was even linking
against the nvidia code?
