Testing mga5 64

tl;dr; Adding an OK. I already have dkms packages installed, so it doesn't appear to do alot but notably doesn't attempt to pull in a prebuilt kmod. Requires seem OK.

The only danger I see in this is if people have manually installed and are using kernels without using the *-latest meta-packages but even then it will only conceivably fail if they are using an older kernel, without keeping up with kernel updates. If this is what they've done however, then that scenario is quite likely due to kernel versioning.

I'll test this builds with the new kernel before validating.

I had updated to the 4.4.11 kernel in both 64 and 32 bit before seeing that this was separate.

Booted into kernel 4.1.18.2 and tried to update this package, but it didn't appear as an update for me on either system. Yes, I DID make sure to activate nonfree testing.

Everything is working, in both kernels, so I can only assume that the package was installed and did what it was supposed to do. I leave it to you whether this is enough for an OK in the whiteboard.
