Description

Updated nvidia-current driver fixes GPL violation

It's been found that shipping prebuilt proprietary kernel modules is in
violation of the GPL license.

Since Mageia.org is pro open source we adjust the way we provide support
for proprietary drivers.

In order to comply with GPL, this update switches to dkms source based
setup that builds the needed modules at kernel / driver install time.

This update also provide the nvidia-current 352.79 driver that adds
support for additional hardware and kernel 4.4 series
