Description:
According to cuda's release notes, the cuda 11 rc requires nvidia driver version at least 450.36.06
So I think it's necessary to pack 450.36.06 driver, in order to make cuda 11 rc works.

https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-toolkit-release-notes/index.html
In the first line of table 2:
CUDA Toolkit Linux x86_64 Driver Version Windows x86_64 Driver Version
CUDA 11.0.189 RC >= 450.36.06 >= 451.22

Nvidia haven't release driver version 450 on their unix driver page, but they do include a driver installer insider the cuda installer.
After running `sh cuda_11.0.1_450.36.06_linux.run --target "." --noexec`, you can find the driver installer `NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-450.36.06.run` in the `builds` directory.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.
* link to upstream bug report, if any

Steps to reproduce:
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Won't fix
Additional comments about closing:  We'll wait on Nvidia to release a proper "normal" driver that's not only part of the cuda release.

We're still waiting on Nvidia to release that driver. That's one of the reasons for the package to be in testing. Is prefer not to just pack the cuda specific driver. Nvidia is bound to make a normal driver sooner or later with cuda 11 support.
