Tested on orhpeus. Both graphic cards are now detected.

Version 367.18 doesn’t detect the second graphics card in orpheus.

```
pmenzel@orpheus:~> lspci -nn -s 3:00
03:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation Device [10de:1b00] (rev a1)
03:00.1 Audio device [0403]: NVIDIA Corporation Device [10de:10ef] (rev a1)
pmenzel@orpheus:~> lspci -nn -s 81:00
81:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation Device [10de:1b00] (rev a1)
81:00.1 Audio device [0403]: NVIDIA Corporation Device [10de:10ef] (rev a1)
```

So let’s try the latest long lived branch version.

Release highlights [1]:

> *   Fixed a bug that could prevent systems with GPUs configured in SLI
> from resuming correctly from ACPI S3/S4 sleep/hibernate states.
>
> * Added support for NVIDIA 3D Vision 2 Stereo on Linux. This IR
> emitter can be used with stereo mode "10" set in the X configuration
> file.
>
> *   Fixed a bug in nvidia-persistenced that caused it to incorrectly
> delete the PID file if a second instance of the daemon is started.
>
> *   Fixed a bug that allowed nvidia-installer to attempt loading
> kernel modules that were built against non-running kernels.

Doesn't nvidia_linux-4.8.6-115-367.57-0.x86_64 conflict with nvidia_linux-4.8.6-115-367.18-0.x86_64 regarding the symlink /usr/share/nvidia/kernel/4.8.6.mx64.115/current and so the removal of nvidia_linux-4.8.6-115-367.18-0.bee should be in the same pull request?

Remove the patches used in Linux 367.18, as the current version builds
fine against Linux 4.8.6.

Tested on *orpheus*.
The version 367.18 is replaced by 367.57.

I'll install that on the master now, There are two systems with 367.18 running (xenia and mxonastick) but it should be no problem, because the kernel module is already loaded.

With merge/pull request #191 both versions 367.18 and 367.57 should have been installed.
