Looking at 410.57 code it still registers only 32bit linux ioctls. Try to extract 64-bit libs from 64-bit driver *of the same version* for Linux under /compat/linux then apply the patch in https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=206711 (it was filed after freebsd-gfx-bugs@nvidia.com proved to be a blackhole) Caveat: I'm not using NVIDIA GPUs anymore, so the above workaround may no longer work.
