I use vfio for passing a GPU to a windows VM for gaming. That's not so
easy to setup and requires special hardware support. You will probably
have a hard time reproducing my setup but if you want to try here are some
info for how it's done.

Arch linux wiki also got a useful page
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PCI_passthrough_via_OVMF

You already have my .config. I build vfio into the kernel directly.

Here are my kernel parameters
intel_iommu=on memtest=1 kvm.ignore_msrs=1 vfio-pci.disable_idle_d3=1 vfio-pci.disable_vga=1 vfio-pci.ids=10de:ffffffff:ffffffff:ffffffff:00030000:ffff00ff,10de:ffffffff:ffffffff:ffffffff:00040300:ffffffff

That will assign all nvidia GPUs to the vfio driver at boot.

The VM run windows 7 using qemu-2.11.1 with libvirt-4.1.0 as frontend.

Here is the libvirt xml definition of the VM

My CPU is a i7-4790K and I use the igpu for the host.

My original hunch was that the kernel functions needed for accessing the pci
config space was broken somehow. I think the sysfs driver for 
/sys/bus/pci/devices/*/config use the same functions as vfio and
lspci -vvvxxxxnn give reasonable output even with TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS.
Each boot always give slightly different output so it's hard to compare.
lspci doesn't write to the config space so perhaps only writing is broken
or perhaps the problem has nothing to do with pci config space at all.
