I suggest you use kmod-nvidia from ELRepo. Then you will be able to
boot the old kernel. Also, you'd not have to reinstall the Nvidia
driver for each kernel update.

The official centosplus kernel with the patch will be released upon
the next kernel update (hopefully very soon). In the meantime, you can
install the test plus kernel offered in the centos bug tracker.

As for the distro centos kernel, because it is a rebuild of the RHEL
kernel, the patch must be applied upstream first. Ron will be updating
the status if/when progress is made in the bugzilla report he filed.
