That depends if nouveau driver uses modedb or not.

from Documentation/fb/modedb.txt
  Drivers that support modedb boot options
123     Boot Name     Cards Supported
124
125     amifb       - Amiga chipset frame buffer
126     aty128fb    - ATI Rage128 / Pro frame buffer
127     atyfb       - ATI Mach64 frame buffer
128     pm2fb       - Permedia 2/2V frame buffer
129     pm3fb       - Permedia 3 frame buffer
130     sstfb       - Voodoo 1/2 (SST1) chipset frame buffer
131     tdfxfb      - 3D Fx frame buffer
132     tridentfb   - Trident (Cyber)blade chipset frame buffer
133     vt8623fb    - VIA 8623 frame buffer

But here you can not find nouveau.

So either a new doc gets created with the options to handle this, or this doc
gets updated  including nouveau.
I hope with staging drivers you are allowed to change the existing docs-)

=> I assume I'll close this bug, and open a documentation bug?
