The only BIOS on record that needs the 14 offset has a bios major version 2 but BMP version 1.01. Another bunch of BIOSes that need the 18 offset have BMP version 2.01 or 5.01 or higher. So instead of looking at the bios major version, look at the BMP version. BIOSes with BMP version 0 do not contain a detectable script, so always return 0 for them.

Unfortunately the bug reporter doesn't really know how to compile kernels and my bet is that the system his NV04 is in isn't exactly top-of-the-line, so a kernel compile would take forever.
I've made similar changes in nvbios, and it seems to now handle every nv04/nv05 bios in our repo, in addition to Mauro's, so I think these changes should be safe-ish. However I'm not tagging for stable yet, in case things don't pan out the way I expected. If Mauro tests a kernel with this and all's well, then I'll send a separate request to stable-ify this patch.
I'm betting that some old code used to check the bmp_version_major against 2, but that got changed to bios major in one of the rewrites, although I didn't go digging.
