Enable kernel modules and DRM for NVIDIA GPU passthrough

- Enable CONFIG_MODULES for loadable module support
- Enable CONFIG_DRM and CONFIG_DRM_BOCHS (which selects DRM_TTM)
- Add CI steps to build NVIDIA open-gpu-kernel-modules
- Download NVIDIA driver and extract GSP firmware for H100/modern GPUs
- Package modules + firmware and upload nvidia-modules-x86_64.tar.gz to releases
