This is not accurate. The 6.7.3 (and 6.6.15) updates did break the
nvidia driver. It has nothing to do with debugging being enabled. A
proper and valid bugfix:
5ec8e8ea8b7783fab150cf86404fc38cb4db8800 mm/sparsemem: fix race in
accessing memory_section->usage
added calls to rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock() which use symbols
that are exported GPL only. This was not some attempt to stab at
nvidia, but their non-GPL module is failing as a result because that
bug fix now pulls those calls into their driver build. Some people
have suggested removing the EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL on these symbols and
leaving them as regular exports. That is not a valid fix for Fedora
to carry for many reasons. I will leave 6.7.3 in updates testing for
a while to give nvidia some time to come up with a work around, but at
some point things have to move forward, and I will not hold non nvidia
users bugfixes hostage because of an out of tree driver, this has
always been Fedora's policy.
