Bug Description

I just installed "nvidia-current", which was probably an error (I'm now using
-352) but nevertheless it couldn't be loaded into my 4.3 kernel, on xenial.

Jan 05 12:10:54 raleigh.local kernel: mtrr: no MTRR for f1000000,e00000 found
Jan 05 12:10:55 raleigh.local kernel: nvidia: Unknown symbol mtrr_del (err 0)
Jan 05 12:10:55 raleigh.local kernel: nvidia: Unknown symbol mtrr_add (err 0)
Jan 05 12:10:55 raleigh.local kernel: nvidia: Unknown symbol mtrr_del (err 0)
Jan 05 12:10:55 raleigh.local kernel: nvidia: Unknown symbol mtrr_add (err 0)

If we're providing it then it should be loadable into our shipping kernel.
Otherwise maybe stop?

Just installed Ubuntu MATE 16.10 and I still have problems with the 304 drivers. Module still can't install with these in syslog:

Oct 16 16:50:24 sdf1 kernel: [ 31.814521] nvidia: Unknown symbol mtrr_del (err 0)
Oct 16 16:50:24 sdf1 kernel: [ 31.815037] nvidia: Unknown symbol mtrr_add (err 0)

It's an Inspiron E1705 with
NVIDIA Corporation G71M [GeForce Go 7900 GS] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])

I see the fix released for Debian but the patch doesn't seem to be in 304 for Ubuntu 16.10. Am going to patch the .run myself for now and install manually.
