Thanks to Tomas Pruzina, there is a patch for NVIDIA driver 375.26 with 4.10-rc kernels.   Details, and the link, are here: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/981993/linux/-patches-included-4-10-kernel-staging-/

Easiest way to get the patch is to select ‘Raw’ and just cut/paste the text..

I have tested this on kernel 4.10-rc2, and it compiles successfully (with a few warnings):

As is mentioned, the CONFIG_CPU_HOTPLUG code is simply ‘bypassed’, as this is very rarely needed by desktop/workstation users..

The patch is for 4.10-based kernels only, and is not backwards-compatible, in its current state..
