Are the opensource nouveau drivers so bad, so you need closed-source 
blob??? If so, that's your choice. But do not ask why something is not 
working as execpted if you upgrade something on the kernel-side.

If I recall correctly 10 yrs ago or even more, when changing from kernel 
2.2 to 2.4 the NVIDIA closed blob drives stopped working due to a change 
in the kernel stack size or similar issue. Why not this time?

Ask NVIDIA to upgrade their driver to support the 4.7.0 Linux Kernel.
