Would it be possible to add support for the vGPU Guest Drivers? This would enable running Talos in a VM with an Nvidia vGPU that has been passed through by the hypervisor.

Nvidia themselves don't publish the vGPU drivers for download without a license, but at least the guest drivers can be downloaded freely from the Google Cloud Platform https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/gpus/grid-drivers-table
I'm not sure if Google would be OK with adding their CDN to a CI/CD pipeline for Talos images, tho.

Please note that Nvidia vGPU drivers are not the same as Nvidia Enterprise GPU drivers. They are not interchangeable and have separate purposes. The currently included Nvidia Drivers do not work for this purpose.

seems google is not ok, the preferable solution would be to have a custom extension built and managed by an org that has license

I took that statement more as meaning that these drivers are provided by Google for use with Compute Engine, vs. other types of VMs that Google Cloud offer, basically a compatibility warning, less than a usage restriction, but I'm not a lawyer
