USER_LTD is "not valid option" when you will attept to compile the
kernel on 4.9, at least that was my experiences with attempting doing so.

If you are to use official Nvidia driver for BSD, read carefully the
manual that comes with this driver. It is not straight forward excercise.

Alternatively, specifying "identifier" as e.g. "Card0" and driver "nv"
without further device parameters in your XF86Config will simply work.
