[gentoo-user] Linus breaks nvidia again

[walt]

For you weirdos who track Linus's git repo every day, and who use the
proprietary nvidia-drivers, you need to make this change to the nvidia
code for their kernel module (nvidia.ko):

     if (pNvAcpiObject->notify_handler_installed)
     {
         // no status returned for this function
-        acpi_os_wait_events_complete(NULL);
+        acpi_os_wait_events_complete();
 
         // remove event notifier
         status = acpi_remove_notify_handler(device->handle, ACPI_DEVICE_NOTIFY, nv_acpi_event);

====================================

Note that I've stashed the nvidia code in /usr/src/nv because I do recompile
it every day after I build the latest kernel from Linus.  This way I don't
have to re-patch the nvidia code every day because I don't have to reinstall
nvidia-drivers every day. (Just the kernel module part, nvidia.ko)

I know there are some of you who know how to change ebuilds to apply your
own local patches, so if you'd like to remind me how to do that I'd be
grateful.
