You can't reliably have two drivers thinking they have direct control of the
hw, nvidiafb will blindly destroy a lot of setup nouveau does to the card, it
can't possibly work.  The binary driver will flat-out refuse to load if
nvidiafb is running, nv only works by sheer accident (a combination of the very
basic way it and nvidiafb use the hw, and because they use the card almost
identically).

If everything works fine without nvidiafb, I'll close this as NOTABUG.  You can
use vesafb if you really want a framebuffer console..  With KMS, nouveau
provides the console, so there isn't an issue.
