nouveau git fails

I tried to bisect but got compile errors due to HWMON, and then two panics in a
row on different commits, so I gave up bisect.

full dmesg from boot attached, the critical bit is:

Thanks for the report.

Firstly, are you able to boot with "drm.debug=14 log_buf_len=1M" for me, and
attach the resulting dmessage.

Secondly, can you also attach /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/vbios.rom for me please
(load "working" nouveau, and mount debugfs at /sys/kernel/debug to get it).

And finally, could you also copy all the files from /sys/firmware/acpi/tables
somewhere, and tar them up and attach them here.

Thanks!
Ben.

Thanks!  I believe I know where the root cause of this issue is, and I'll
attempt to get a patch ready to fix it properly tomorrow.

In the meantime, nouveau git will no longer completely fail init in these
situations, so you should be able to use it again.  The patch has been sent
upstream for 3.3-rc also.

nouveau git commit that seems to fix it:
f41a8e1bcbd69148dd39568a6f062ae698ad4afc

upstream commit that works around the issue (I think):
ce2e7895faba8fabaa917f52293126e5f4174fa9

thanks Ben!!!
