The fix would be to blacklist all but the current nvidia module. The
problem is that the different nvidia module register into the
modules.{alias,pcimap,symbols} files, and then the PCI Id's trigger
whatever came first in the list.

If someone experiments with blacklisting and manages to get modules.*
behaving properly I'll be glad to stuff it into nvidia-graphics-switch.
