git bisect. Grab a clone of the tree, and use git bisect between the good and
bad tags (v3.12 and v3.13) to identify the offending commit. You can probably
restrict the bisect to drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau.
IOW, you can run
git bisect start v3.13 v3.12 -- drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau
There are more detailed online guides that show how to use git bisect, and you
may even find something that's specific to your distro if you're not familiar
with building kernels.
Unrelated to this, your lspci shows no indication of a G86. Are you sure you
saw that on the same computer?</pre>
