Just\u00a0 installed Kernel 4.6-rc1<\/strong> on the test system.<\/p>\n

This is due to a Mediatek thermal driver being ‘selected’ by default (and in error?), and the simple fix is to deselect<\/span> it!\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 After that, the kernel should compile OK..<\/p>\n
VMware 12.1.0<\/strong> compiles and loads\/runs OK.<\/p>\n
NVIDIA 361.28<\/strong> compile fails:<\/p>\n

364.12<\/strong> (beta) compile has a similar error..<\/p>\n
There is a quick-and-dirty patch for this, and a second<\/span> patch for a subsequent compile error with 364.12<\/strong>, here:

I have applied both patches to 364.12, and it compiles OK against 4.6-rc1..<\/p>\n
The first patch is all that is necessary for 361.28, and it then compiles OK..<\/p>\n
