diff (patch) for x11/nvidia-driver-173

I recently attempted to install the driver on one of my boxes
only to discover the patch security-patch-CVE-2012-0946 was
rejected. Closer examination revealed that nVidia had already
applied the top half for src/nv.h in the distribution, and that
the second half for src/nvidia_subr.c was not even valid. But
it was clear what the attempt was to do -- replace EINVAL with -1.
So, I simply created a patch (unified diff) to cover it.

The machine I performed all this on is still being built.
So I was unable to create an svn diff, the attached, is a
unified diff.

Hope this helps!
