Could you instead include the gpu generation module in https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware/tree/master/common/gpu/nvidia
This also allows us to make future fixes affecting the generation.

Reading the text above, sounds like we want more something like:

Suggested change
boot.kernelParams = [ "i915.force_probe=7d55" ];
boot.kernelParams = lib.mkIf (lib.versionOlder config.boot.kernelPackages.kernel "6.6") [ "i915.force_probe=7d55" ];
boot.kernelPackages = lib.mkIf (lib.versionOlder pkgs.linux.version "6.6") (lib.mkDefault pkgs.linuxPackages_latest);

Please replace 6.6 with the kernel version you think is the newest working one.

How about now? Updated to import ada-lovelace config allowing removal of "hardware.nvidia.open"-line. Not sure if we want to force latest kernel but at least with force_probe=7d55 the graphical sessions boot even with an older kernel, and now its set only when necessary.
