actually, this one: "move-__this_module-to-modpost.patch" started breaking nvidia, but strangely not for all people. For me it worked fine (prior to 2.6.5-mm4), but other people got "invalid module format" after compiling nvidia driver and tried to load it. P.S.: kbuild-external-module-support breaks VMware too :p

I hope it goes not in the stable line so soon.
I hope it will go into mainline after the glitches are fixed up. The problem is, Andrew and friends need proper bug reports to fix these kind of things up asap. If no one speaks up about a problem, everyone expect its working fine for all, so go for it into mainline.
