This is expressed in our docs already with a sensible example, but the text is wrong, since it says 'load the gpu modules *before* loading vfio-pci'. So simply correct the 'before' to 'after'.

Should this not work, you might need to set a soft dependency to load the gpu -modules before loading 'vfio-pci'. This can be done with the 'softdep' flag, see +modules after loading 'vfio-pci'. This can be done with the 'softdep' flag, see also the manpages on 'modprobe.d' for more information.
