Bug Description

SRU Request:

[Impact]
nvidia-304 and its -updates flavour don't work with the lts-xenial kernel, as the modules still rely on mtrr_add mtrr_del (dropped by Linux 4.3).

[Test Case]
1) Enable the trusty-proposed repository, and install the "linux-generic-lts-xenial"

2) Install one of the available nvidia-304 packages or, if the nvidia driver is already installed, dist-upgrade after adding the -proposed repository.

3) Restart and see if the system boots correctly. If unsure, please attach your /var/log/gpu-manager.log and /var/log/Xorg.0.log

[Regression Potential]
Low, the packages include the very same patch that we have used in Xenial since its release.
