Please help $subject reach mainline for 4.2, w/o this revert, the
system here hangs most (>90%) of the time at boot time.

As an aside, yesterday after a marathon git bisect, came to the same

W/o the revert, in the rare case where it boots, below is observed in
addition to as compared to w/ revert,

[    9.826010] nouveau E[    PBUS][0000:01:00.0] MMIO read of 0x00000000 FAULT at 0x122130 [ !ENGINE ]
