Thanks Ted for the reply and the hint. After a bit of research, it seems the 950 Pro use a PCIe NVMe interface as opposed to the SM951 (already in the CVS tree) using PCIe AHCI interface. I did not find any mention of backwards compatibility with AHCI so far for the 950 Pro and might correlate with your assumption.
A bit more research brought me to the nvme [1] driver found in FreeBSD. Was there any attempts into porting that? I am not a developer, but would be happy to help in testing patch/source code.
