Addition to #45410

Motivation for this change

Currently nvidia driver is broken on Linux kernel 4.18:
https://gist.github.com/Yardanico/bd250e4626de1d1cfd990e603eef7b4c
Also - http://rglinuxtech.com/?p=2315
So, until nvidia driver is updated to a newer version we should mark it as broken.

P.S: This is my first small PR, so I might have done something wrong :D

Things done

    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nox --run "nox-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)

There's a PR that updates it, which fixed the problem for me?

On phone so hard to look up but don't think anyone's voiced a reason to not merge it...

Right, I didn't notice #44822 but the author noticed this PR and solved it.

It seems that your commit breaks evaluation for all kernels, as the kernel parameter may be null (i.e. meta.broken can't be evaluated).

@tkerber my commit wasn't structured in a proper way anyway :)

Not quite sure what you mean by that, but regardless, @vcunat merged it, and things broke :/

@tkerber I read CONTRIBUTING and it says that commit message should be
package_name: reason
so I closed my PR, I didn't know it was merged

Oh, I didn't realize that problem, and I'm in meta.maintainers here :-(
