So after finally getting through LKML email this morning, there is a
known NULL ptr dereference on older cards that should be fixed with:

commit fdd239ac99a0cc298b382c5ab5e7bcd09e8933d7

    drm/nouveau: fix null ptr dereferences on some boards

That should be in the build I kicked off this morning.
