[elrepo] kmod-nvidia for el9

[Maarten]

Thanks! I knew that one exists but I dislike that one because it 
installs a bunch of x dependencies such as nvidia-settings
and others. Since I only use the driver for video-transcoding and not 
for running a graphical environment I dislike using
anything that install extra stuff that I don't need. I hadn't tried to 
see if I can remove the unnecessary dependencies so
that might be worth a try still. I'll add my voice to the issue/bug 
report linked earlier.
