New testing kernel.

Yeah, all I did was add:

unsigned int __VMALLOC_RESERVE = 128 << 20;

right after:

#ifdef MODULE_ALIAS_CHARDEV_MAJOR
MODULE_ALIAS_CHARDEV_MAJOR(NV_MAJOR_DEVICE_NUMBER);
#endif

in the nv.c file and ran the installer.  Worked perfectly
fine after that.  Of course, I still see a "NVidia license
'taints' kernel".  Heh, funny enough though the first time
I saw that warning I could have sworn I saw it say 'taunts'
rather than 'taints'.  Gave me a good laugh until I realized
what it really read.
