Patch for SIGSEGV when no kernel-side DRM is present

The nouveau driver (from git on 13/04/2009) experienced SIGSEGV when no
kernel-side DRM is present.
The component version:
xserver: 1.5.3
libdrm: 2.4.9
xf86-video-nouveau: git from 13/04/2009

The problem was narrowed down to nv_driver.c:NVMapMemSW() - the function
declares 'struct nouveau_device', which in fact, should be 'struct
nouveau_device_priv' for DRM related functions to work properly.

The crashes were related to the accesses to 'mm_enabled' field of 'struct
nouveau_device_priv', which points to a garbage when only 'struct
nouveau_device' declared.

Attached patch (against git from 13/04/2009) solved the problem.
