Doesn't matter what code you grab, it should basically be the same for the past
many kernel versions. Nouveau got a bit of a rewrite in 4.3, so the code might
look a bit different if you use an older kernel, but it's the same idea.
If this is your first time compiling a kernel, then it might get a bit tricky.
First grab a kernel, compile it, make sure you can boot it, and *then* make the
relevant changes.</pre>
