nvidia-304xx broken with new kernel

[David A. De Graaf]

The latest two kernels and the nvidia-304xx module are incompatible.
That is, the nvidia.ko module built by akmod-nvidia-304xx won't load.
That means that my three machines with older nvidia video cards (one
built into the mobo) are stuck running the old

>  kernel-4.2.8-300.fc23.x86_64
   kernel-4.3.3-300.fc23.x86_64
   kernel-4.3.3-301.fc23.x86_64

In the past, incompatibilities were resolved in about a week.
This time, it's nearly a month.  No new package of akmod-nvidia-304xx
or kmod-nvidia-304xx has shown up at the
rpmfusion-nonfree-updates[-testing] repo.
The akmod-nvidia-340xx module on another machine that needs it runs fine.
Does anyone have a clue when this older version of the nvidia module
might be fixed?

Here are the error messages with the newer kernel:
