As something like "git diff v3.12..v3.13 -- drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau" would
provide. We know what changed. We don't know which change broke things.

OK, if you ever want to get unstuck, figure out how to build your own kernels
(loads of guides online), check out a git tree, and do a git bisect between
v3.12 and v3.13 (again, tons of online guides).
