After restoring the .generic kernel (see Bug #232019), the behavior has changed. The System..Hardware Drivers Manager now shows the restricted driver, and selecting it gives a warning explaining what it is. After this I am prompted to reboot. After reboot, the nv driver is still in operation. Even though the restricted driver is still shown as "In use" on the System..Hardware Drivers Manager.
