Getting it working looks tricky. I think it _might_ work if you add
__attribute__ ((regparm (2))) or so to every function declaration inside the
nvidia driver.
That or __attribute__ ((regparm (3))) for every kernel function the driver
calls and compiling without -mregparm=3.
Or recompiling the kernel rpm without -mregparm=3
Ugh... my head hurts...
