[workaround] nvidia linux_ioctl global handler (for both linux and linux64)

(In reply to ohartman from bug 201340 comment #17)
> on CURRENT amd64 I would at least expect linux64.ko

nvidia-driver requires kernel to provide linux_ioctl_{,un}register_handler =
to
allow linux userland access /dev/nvidia*. According to
/sys/modules/linux/Makefile the symbol is only exported for 32bit version.
Obviously, linux64 needs to export 64bit symbol. And its not possible to ex=
port
by building into kernel: option COMPAT_LINUX doesn't exist on amd64.

How to make 64bit OpenGL apps work with nvidia & linuxulator:
1. Switch to 64bit linux_base or populate manually (I've used CentOS 7)
2. Apply *attached* patch and rebuild kernel or just linux* modules
3. Disable linux_ioctl handler in nvidia-driver (i.e. rebuild with LINUX=3D=
off)
4. Install 64bit linux driver under /compat/linux
5. Remove sbin/nvidia-modprobe binary to enable userland fallback (as used =
by
FreeBSD driver)

CUDA 64bit may still not work e.g.,

  $ export PATH=3D/compat/linux/bin:/usr/local/cuda/bin:$PATH
  $ nvcc -o foo -m32 -lcuda a.c
  $ nvcc -o bar -lcuda a.c

  $ ./foo
  $ ./bar
  cuInit failed: 999

  $ cat a.c
  #include <cuda.h>
  #include <stdio.h>

  int main()
  {
      CUresult r =3D cuInit(0);
      if (r !=3D CUDA_SUCCESS) {
          printf("cuInit failed: %d\n", r);
          return 1;
      }
      return 0;
  }
