Updated patch (attached) was downloaded from upstream (https://www.grsecurity.net/~paxguy1/) - looks like even after closing source of GrSecurity/PaX kernel patch this nvidia-drivers patch is still publicly available.

Only change required in nvidia-drivers-384.59-r1.ebuild and nvidia-drivers-384.69.ebuild is to replace patch version at line:

-		eapply "${FILESDIR}"/${PN}-375.20-pax.patch
+		eapply "${FILESDIR}"/${PN}-384.47-pax.patch

Don't modify const struct.

Adding this user patch makes it possible to emerge x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-384.90 on 4.9.52-grsecurity. Note: this works with the modeset module; don't know if it will work without it.

nvidia-drivers-387.22-pax.patch

This patch is prepared from nvidia-drivers-387.12-pax.patch, only offsets and one context line was changed, so patch is actually the same.
