modprobe-nouveau

Since kernel 3.4.X (also 3.5-rc) I have been seeing issues with nouveau,
machine would lock up almost immediately after grub (after nouveau load) or
just simply reboot. The following commit appears to be causing regression on my
hardware (found with bisect) - gtx560. Attached is drm.log with portion of
kern.log when attempting to insert nouveau (machine was booted with nomodeset
and drm.debug=0x04).

    drm fb helper: remove unused variable crtc_id

    crtc_id is set but never used, so remove it from struct
    drm_fb_helper_crtc.

I have added added crtc_id back to drm fb helper and it seems to solve issues
on 3.4.1 so far.

Same problem. Only seems to affect GTX 560 chipsets.

Can confirm that re-adding crtc_id back to struct drm_fb_helper_crtc in
include/drm/drm_fb_helper.h fixes the problem.
