kthxbyte

Attached are two absolute messes of a debdiff, one for nvidia and one
for nvidia-tesla. I don't think these should be applied without a
grownup looking at what's going on here -- both are a mess. Hopefully
its a net workload reduction for you.

I started with the tesla patches (I didn't know about the dependency to
nvidia's current dkms module), so the diffs are a bit of a mess and not
exactly the same. There's also two patches in the tesla debdiff that
should be one -- and I didn't make any DEP3 headers. There's a lot of
YOLO in here and not my finest work.

Running a test program, it appears to be working still.

I was wondering why my dkms yolo-patch didn't match what i submitted
to the tesla src package, and I realized that the 550 version was split
into its own src package.

attached is a debdiff for that src package too. same caviats apply, and
same patches for the most part.
