The kmod-nvidia packages (legacy packages too) against the latest
EL7.3 kernel (3.10.0-514.10.2.el7) have been released to the main
repository and are syncing to the mirrors.

kmod-nvidia-304xx-304.135-2.el7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm
kmod-nvidia-340xx-340.102-2.el7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm
kmod-nvidia-375.39-2.el7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm

These packages will not be compatible with earlier kernel releases.
