Tested with GTX1070 in Mga6 with 4.9 and 4.14 series kernels and in Caudldron with 4.14 series kernels.

Note that this driver has been in Cauldron since Jan 5th, 2018 so if there would be some bad issues with it we would aldready know.

description: |
  This update provides the version 384.111 from the R384 branch, in order
  to  help mitigating Spectre and Meltdown CPU security issues and keeps
  the driver working with security hardened kernels.

  Note that so far, nVidia does believe that their GPUs are immune
  to the referenced security issues.

  It also adds support for newer GPUs and  fixes some bugs.
