kernel + xorg + nvidia

Currently (as of glen's commit) the kernel module requires a proper
version of the userspace Xorg driver. The two problems I see:

* the real requirement is the other way around - it's xorg that needs
the kernel module loaded
* it forces users to uninstall nvidia modules from older kernels in
order to install a new kernel (as opposed to upgrading)

Therefore I propose we reverse the requirement:

* have xorg-driver-video-nvidia require kernel-module(nvidia) = %{version}
* have kernel*-video-nvidia provide kernel-module(nvidia) = %{version}
