[elrepo] nVidia kmods and CUDA

[Pat Riehecky]

I'm running into an unexpected dependency problem loading the CUDA rpms 
and the elrepo kmod:

  You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
  You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
# rpm -qa |grep nvidia
yum-plugin-nvidia-1.0.2-1.el6.elrepo.noarch
kmod-nvidia-352.30-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64
nvidia-x11-drv-352.30-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64
nvidia-detect-352.30-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64

I suspect some new "provides" might be required.
