Ideally you'd take an mmiotrace from the nvidia blob to fix this. I understand
that it's not an option in this case -- a video BIOS dump and a register dump
*might* be enough though: [1] has instructions on dumping video BIOSes, and you
can use [2] after a fresh boot, before loading nouveau.ko to get a register
dump.
Full kernel logs may be useful too.
