Errr, this was not a kernel update and elrepo kmod-nvidia is installed.
Cheers, B.J.
The libglx.so.325.15 file comes from the nvidia-x11-drv package, not the kmod-nvidia.
Elrepo is not putting any symlink in /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions only in /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia
It then adds /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia to the ModulePath in xorg.conf so the Xserver picks up the nvidia version of libglx.so before the Xorg version. That way you
If you do have/had a symlink in /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions, it's a remnant from NVIDIA's own distribution, IIRC. It is the xorg-x11-server-Xorg package that writes over that symlink.

I was about to write the same when I saw your post. Thank you, Thomas. So, that is the "yet another reason to use kmod-nvidia" -- not being affected by Xorg updates.
