This gives me an idea. The only so to say 'vm' change in r248508 was an
addition of the bio_transient_map submap. The vfs.unmapped_buf_allowed
tunable did not eliminated the submap creation. Please try r248569
with vfs.unmapped_buf_allowed set to 0.

If this combination allows the nvidia driver to start, please revert
the setting of vfs.unmapped_buf_allowed, and instead set
kern.bio_transient_maxcnt e.g. to 256 or even 128.

Also, on the machine without the tunables customization, please show
the output of sysctl kern.nbuf, kern.bio_transient_maxcnt. Also show
the output of pciconf -lvb.

=46rom what I see in your report, you use i386 arch. What is the amount
of memory installed in the machine ?
