As far as I can tell it's the Hypervisor extension flags list. The lack 
of these extensions/optimisations might explain why your FreeBSD VM runs 
slow but their presence also causes the nVidia driver to refuse to run. 
(Can't remember where I read this, sorry)

With your change to PCI_EMUL_MEMBASE64 I can boot a CentOS VM without 
the "pci=nocrs" kernel option and nVidia card is assigned BARs without 
issue.

However, even with reapplying the changes to vmm.ko to hide/remove the 
0x40000000 CPUID support and CPUID2_HV, I still have the same 
"RmInitAdapter failed" issue.

Allegedly[0] nVidia VM checking came in with driver version 337.88, with 
more checking after version 344.11. I couldn't install version 319 as it 
failed to build the Linux kernel module. I currently have 370.28 
installed which supports both my GT610 and my GTX960.

Maybe the next thing for me to try is to replicate your tests with a 
FreeBSD VM.
