[Nouveau] nVidia GT218M [GeForce 315M] issues on kUbuntu 17.04 x86-64.

I will update the thread as soon as I get the hardware back. It was 
something serious like artifacts or no video in X so that I had to 
resort to proprietary drivers.
So the question is whether this hardware is supported or not.
