Hm, yeah, at least the kfreebsd-* ones should be added, shouldn't they?
Sorry, I didn't think that all the way through.

Do you know if anything beyond that could use NVIDIA GPUs?  I was assuming
that powerpc, etc., just wouldn't have the hardware.

(The similar change to nvidia-xconfig I think we should keep, since it not
only assumes the NVIDIA hardware but also specifically the non-free
drivers.)
