nouveaudrm -- actually worth trying now!

hi folks.


i seem to have figured out the final bits for getting nouveau limping
along in a working state.  i can't stress enough that Taylor and Chuq
really did the vast majority of this work, i feel like the final 5%
at best...

it's probably worth testing in -current now if you want.  you'll need
to enable these lines in your config:

   nouveau*        at pci? dev ? function ?
   nouveaufb*      at nouveaufbbus?

and you might want to disable nouveau debug -- my console spews a really
large amount, but only if it works ;)  you'll have to do this by editing
files.nouveau to have this instead:

   makeoptions     nouveau CPPFLAGS+="-DCONFIG_NOUVEAU_DEBUG=0"
   makeoptions     nouveau CPPFLAGS+="-DCONFIG_NOUVEAU_DEBUG_DEFAULT=0"

i've so far only testing with i386, but i'll be building an amd64
world to test next.  you'll need rebuilt kernel and xsrc from
- -current to test (i don't know about pkgsrc x11 offhand.)

enjoy!
