That patch has a small bug:

And, btw, COULD ANYBODY ASK NVIDIA TO READ LKML ?? After two versions, this
is still there:
#include <linux/poll.h>
-#include <linux/malloc.h> /* kmalloc().. */
+#include <linux/slab.h> /* kmalloc().. */
#include <linux/vmalloc.h> /* vmalloc().. */
The same happens with ALSA. And with LM-Sensors. And compatibility is not an
issue, slab.h is also present in 2.2.
I know, it is a harmless bug. But the fix is stupid. This can be seen as a
measure of the interest on Linux.
