Does vesafb work in x86_64?  If it does you can add this in your
commandline:

vga=0x307

0x306 is the code for 1280x1024, see Documentation/fb/vesafb.txt.

Then check your dmesg if the panel size also changed.  If it did, then
you can do this:

vga=0x307 video=nvidiafb:1280x1024@60.

And this is just a possible means of tricking the hardware into adjusting the 
panel size for us?

No, this will use the BIOS to switch to a 1280x1024 mode before starting the
kernel. Remember that Tony told you the panel size is set up by the BIOS. If
that's really the case, it should help.
