Here is a workaround to force nvidia compilation with a new kernel:

-first be sure to get both 2 kernel headers & both 2 kernel images installed
- then inside /usr/src/nvidia ... /

Change f_dentry to f_path.dentry in nv.c and nv-frontend.c files.
 And change MODULE_LICENSE("NVIDIA"); to MODULE_LICENSE("GPL"); in the same files.

- when the changes are made and saved, then reinstall the 4 kernel files: you should no more see compilation errors, and get a smooth boot with that kernel.
