--- Comment #10 from Ilia Mirkin <imirkin at alum.mit.edu> ---
The usual mechanism, nowadays, for modules to load is that the kernel creates
some stuff in /sys, udev is notified about it, looks at the module_alias which
describe what it is that the modules claim they support, and loads the right
ones. In this case the nouveau module should (and does) claim to support some
set of pci devices. (I might have that a little wrong, but that's the overall
gist.) If you're not using udev/have disabled that somehow, I don't think it's
too much to ask you to load the module yourself.

In any case, I don't think having this in the bugtracker will lead to the
resolution that you're seeking. If you really want to change the behaviour,
send a patch, ping people, etc. It sounds like the various people are in favor
of the current behaviour (I know I am -- I hate it when things do stuff behind
my back). For anyone looking at this later, see discussion that followed
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/nouveau/2013-February/012222.html .

If you want to boot s.t. you can load the nvidia driver, you can either boot
with nouveau.modeset=0, or take a look at
http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/KernelModeSetting/ for how to unload a
"mode-setted" module.
