[snip]

32 bit CUDA support may be limiting to you, but it's:

* not necessarily limiting to others;
* a good starting point to demonstrate it's actually feasible;
* a potential stepping stone to getting 64 bit support of some sort in
place (whether it's the push for 64 bit linux support; or to get
NVIDIA to notice FreeBSD some more, etc.)

So if you want to see 64 bit FreeBSD CRDA support; please start by
getting 32 bit support as working as possible, documented, and then as
easy to install as you can get it.

2c,
