not sure about that patch but all I did was add

unsigned int __VMALLOC_RESERVE = 128 << 20;

right after:

#ifdef MODULE_ALIAS_CHARDEV_MAJOR
MODULE_ALIAS_CHARDEV_MAJOR(NV_MAJOR_DEVICE_NUMBER);
#endif

in the nv.c file and ran the installer.  Worked perfectly
fine after that.  I am currently running the *-667 kernel.
Are you making sure your xorg.conf file is setup properly?
