As mentioned in earlier commit, the riva and nvidia fbdev drivers
have
seen no love over the years, are short on features and overall below
par

Users are encouraged to switch to the nouveau drm driver instead.

v2: Split configs to separate patch, enable nouveau (Bartlomiej)
Back when I still had these things to play with (years ago) nouveau
didn't work properly on these ancient machines.
I believe you reported issues due to different page size for the CPU/GPU.
Have you tried nouveau recently, there has been a handful of patches
on the topic since your report.

Alternatively, it would make sense you rebase, cleanup and merge your patch.
