  For at least akmod-nvidia-173xx the current version in rpmfusion does
not compile - nv.c references kernel structure fields which were removed
in 2.6.30. (see https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=781)
leading to a compile error.

  nvidia has fixed this in the newer driver for 173xx, but rpmfusion
needs to update.

  I -believe- but cannot verify, whether the 18x/19x drivers will
compile ok with newer kernels.
