kernel log without flags
The following commit on current nouveau git master breaks setting a valid
resolution at boot and results in a black screen.

drm/nouveau/acpi: move definitions out of nouveau_drv.h
Signed-off-by: Ben Skeggs <bskeggs@redhat.com>
An interesting thing about this bug is that it can be avoided with adding the
kernel flag nouveau.reg_debug=0x600. With this flag a wrong resolution is set
at boot and the screen does not turn black. The X Server cannot start anyway.
My native resolution is 1366x768. GRUB_GFXMODE is 1360x768x32, since the
greater resolution is not listed in grub's vbeinfo.
nouveau and blob run X with 1366x768.
I will attach a log with and without the flag at commit
97d6852410a83e413d85649cb2cc10e17d6ee2ab.
