vGPU with nVIDIA on Kernel 6.8

Hey folks, so for fun, I added an P6000 in the box as well... Now that was not happy lights.
I Acctualy discovered that they did not co-work very well. L40S according to Nvidia should work with 16.1 --> drivers.

But it does not show in 16.5.

Then, again for fun I re-installed 17.3 just to see what I got, and

Now, isn't this more fun!

I did also add the polloloco patch on the 17.3, and then I only found the P6000...
