ivo log on Nvidia 367.27

Between Nvidia drivers 361 and 364, there has been some change that makes
intel-virtual-output cause segmentation faults in the Nvidia X server when it
is used. Since this driver version is necessary for newer Linux kernels (4.6+),
it makes it pretty much impossible to use ivo on this kernel.

Here is a report of another user suffering from the same issue:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=214257

I'm not certain if this is a bug in the Nvidia driver (i.e. I should report
this to Nvidia) or if ivo is using some interface that has become deprecated or
something like that. Hence I'm reporting it here first.

Thanks for reading!
