[Nouveau] Trouble with TTM patches w/nouveau in linux-next

[Christian König]

Hi Mikko,

strange sounds like Nouveau was somehow also using the GEM workaround 
for VMWGFX as well.

But -12 means -ENOMEM which doesn't fits into the picture.

I will try with a G710, but if that doesn't yields anything I need some 
more input from you.

Thanks for the report,
Christian.
