Something told the VGA arbiter that 1:00.0 (assume this is the gtx660) does not decode VGA I/O or memory. That means we can't route it to the card when we try to assign it. These "this pci device is not a vga device" messages come from the write function of /dev/vga_arbiter, so something in userspace is doing this, and apparently doing it very arbitrarily since it must have tried ever device in the system. Are you running an X server on the host? If so, can you boot to a runlevel that doesn't start X and see if these messages are still present?
