​My test result: Got exactly the same stack trace as what Pat reported.
This is a freshly installed RHEL 7.4 system. ​

​'​
nvidia-detect -v
​' shows:

​[10de:0427] NVIDIA Corporation G86M [GeForce 8400M GS]
This device requires the legacy 340.xx NVIDIA driver kmod-nvidia-340xx

I'm now moving 'kmod-nvidia-340xx-340.102-3.el7_4' to the elrepo-testing
repo (instead of removing) in case others want to take a look at it.
