Why do it by hand when you can modprobe? I don't use nouveau myself, but
om my machine (running v3.18.1) modprobe tells me:
        $ modprobe --show-depends nouveau
        insmod [...]/drivers/gpu/drm/drm.ko 
        insmod [...]/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_kms_helper.ko 
        insmod [...]/drivers/gpu/drm/ttm/ttm.ko 
        insmod [...]/drivers/i2c/algos/i2c-algo-bit.ko 
        insmod [...]/drivers/acpi/video.ko 
        insmod [...]/drivers/platform/x86/wmi.ko 
        insmod [...]/drivers/platform/x86/mxm-wmi.ko 
        insmod [...]/drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau.ko

$ git grep -nw i2c_bit_add_bus | grep EXPORT
drivers/i2c/algos/i2c-algo-bit.c:655:EXPORT_SYMBOL(i2c_bit_add_bus);

Ie, i2c-algo-bit.ko as seen above.

$ git grep -nw mxm_wmi_call_mxds | grep EXPORT
drivers/platform/x86/mxm-wmi.c:66:EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(mxm_wmi_call_mxds);

Ie, mxm-wmi.ko as seen above.

Etc.
