True. However with the symlink trick my PC booted fine whereas I am
not sure it would have booted fine without any change at all (I use
the proprietary nvidia drivers).

In any case, I have removed the symlink, downgraded dkms and kmod,
added them to the ignore list in pacman.conf, and reinstalled the
kernel and its headers (and the lts version) and all is good.

The reason for downgrading kmod is a warning, which may be harmless
but I did not want to take chances.
