Yes I confirm it is merged in 2.6.36-rc2-git2, and I get no more oops
when loading the nouveau driver.

But I get some error message from the driver when in X and the X server
hangs...

Message from dmesg :

This is with X.Org X Server 1.7.7 and
(II) LoadModule: "nouveau"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nouveau_drv.so
(II) Module nouveau: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
        compiled for 1.7.7, module version = 0.0.16
        Module class: X.Org Video Driver
        ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 6.0

The nouveau X module is from the lastest git repo (yesterday)

Same configuration as before...

Any Idea ?

Thanx
