Alberto is rolling this back into older releases over time. To be fair
it is an annoying issue but not one that is so fatal one would not be
able to recover a system. In the majority of cases this ends up being
just a false system issue notification. Because on kernel update the
parallel builds are actually started 3 times. By now I just made it a
habit of doing the following whenever kernel updates come in:

- run "dkms status" to see whether both nvidia modules appear for the latest 
kernel (bbswitch is always there)
- if one(or both) is missing, do "sudo dkms install -m <module> -v <module 
version> -k <kernel version>
   (the name and versions taken from the dkms status report)
- "sudo rm /var/crash/*nvidia*" to ignore the build failures before

When the fixed version of the driver hits this can be noticed by having
only one module reported by dkms for nvidia. The *-uvm one will be gone
and the module it produced will be part of the remaining dkms module
which then produces two kernel modules.
