Work started on supporting the Nvidia driver last year:

revno: 3537 [merge]
author: Christopher James Halse Rogers <email address hidden>
committer: Tarmac
branch nick: development-branch

message:
  Add an EGLStream client platform and KMS-backed EGLStream server platform.

  Currently supports only software clients, as hooking into nvidia's EGL is not (yet?) possible.

  Approved by mir-ci-bot.
------------------------------------------------------------

And you can find the source code in lp:mir under src/platforms/eglstream-kms/ but it's not yet complete. So that's why the driver has not yet been released to Ubuntu.

You can track the progress by subscribing to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mir/+bug/1628478
