I do have a debian VM - it booted and assigned an IRQ etc when I hot attached 
the device but black screened the primary stdvga VNC display when I tried to 
poke X onto the Quadro. I've not had chance to get SSH/serial console going yet 
so I can see the logs. It worked fine under KVM with a 6950 and didn't need the 
NoSnoop patch.

Certainly I'm very willing to diagnose the problem in a Linux VM. Now I'm 
running a fully supported configuration I'm hopeful of getting this working.

Thanks for confirming that -traditional is not required for passthrough. 
That'll remove the need for me to much around with memory patches
