The problem is pointing at the kernel and not the nVidia driver. But what would I know.
If Nvidia provides a driver whose binary part depends on paravirt, the driver is broken and not the kernel! At least Nvidia should then provide two drivers, one for a kernel with and one without paravirtualisation support. That is one of the problems when choosing to go the binary-only route.
And as user of binary-only drivers (BTW, I also use the nvidia driver) you have to expect problems like that.

I take your point, but the question has to be asked is why was paravirtualisation removed from the kernel? Is this removal then also to be implemented in the general Linux kernel or is this only a Novell kernel specific "fiddle"?
