I suggest you map the BAR into the 32 bit address space, unless you have so=
 many PCI devices that this is not feasible. Just raise the limit of the sp=
ecial 64 bit handling to 1 GB or something big.
- Many/most(?) consumer BIOS/UEFIs map 64 bit bars into the 32 bit address =
space by default, so this configuration is much more tested for device driv=
ers and guest operating systems.
- Passthrough doesn't work for me at all above the 4GB memory window on my =
recent AMD system. It exits back to the hypervisor, which then crashes with=
 a failed assert because it doesn't expect to handle this.

With this tweak it is possible to use the open source nVidia driver on Linu=
x.

However, your next problem---if you want to use proprietary drivers---is th=
at access to the ROM BAR is not supported or emulated. If that could be fix=
ed, it would be a big step forwards.
