The same binary works fine as expected in the host kernel. Only one BAR has control & status registers (CSR) and other PCI BARs are marked as prefetchable. NVIDIA GPU driver uses the write-combine feature for mapping the prefetchable BARs to improve performance. This problem applies to all other drivers which want to enable WC.

Unless you mean the noveau drivers this simply does not matter.  Please
don't spam the kernel lists with issues with your broken and license
violating drivers.
