Just upgraded to the latest driver, and yes i am still seeing it as
well. The issue is that nvidia has decided to warn people that these
framebuffer drivers may cause problems. They weren't supported earlier
too, but worked anyhow. But recently they are causing problems for some
people so nvidia thought it would be best to warn people about the use
of these drivers.
You must be having a vga= entry in your boot parameters, as do i. I
tried with vga=0 and didn't see this message.
See the following message by Uroš for more details.

Basically, vesafb with the nvidia driver was never supported. It used to work,
it may still work, but that's by pure chance.
I do not seem to find any mention of VGA in the boot parameters. The
only place I see it mentioned is in grub.cfg where it loads the modules
before you even put your kernel info (insmod vga).
But I added what you said vga=0, to the kernel parameters and the
message is now gone.
Maybe its been to long the past couple days for me but I still am not
sure I get this issue. I have no other video drivers even installed on
the system and the video card is a pretty recent one. Anyways I will
look more into it tomorrow after some rest. Thanks for point out the
earlier reply I missed it, or did not properly sink in.
