No Loading a modified VBIOS per GPU through kernel modules is hardware and kernel-level work involving GPU firmware formats and driver internals. Mistakes can brick hardware, so it requires specialized expertise.
What it would actually take: This needs deep knowledge of NVIDIA's VBIOS format, its signature and checksum rules, and the open kernel module's init path, written in C as a kernel patch or module. Developers must also reverse engineer how firmware is loaded and verify changes on real hardware with recovery paths. Kernel development, GPU firmware reverse engineering, and access to test hardware are required.
