nvnet does not see NVidia's adapter on amd64

Well, simply checking out sys/dev/nve, sys/contrib/dev/nve, and 
sys/modules/nve allowed me to build the if_nve module. Loading if_nve.ko 
attaches to the interface, but attempts to ifconfig it result in instant 
panic (page fault). I'm going to guess, there is some assumption the driver 
makes, that is true on 6.0, but on 5.x

So I'm back to net/nvnet's if_nv.ko, which is limping along...

My motherboard is IWill's DK8N -- dmesg attached.
