thanks!

Looking at libdrm/Config.in the restriction on Intel hardware was
added in 2013, it seems no one cared until now ;)

$ git blame package/libdrm/Config.in | grep -A2 NOUVEAU
b35acfff (Spenser Gilliland 2013-09-05 23:25:15 -0500 37) config BR2_PACKAGE_LIBDRM_NOUVEAU
b35acfff (Spenser Gilliland 2013-09-05 23:25:15 -0500 38) 	bool "nouveau"
b35acfff (Spenser Gilliland 2013-09-05 23:25:15 -0500 39) 	depends on BR2_i386 || BR2_x86_64
